Threatened pre-term labour questions (34 weeks)

[Cassius2]

very much so! as long as i dont move it sucks that even sitting up causes tightenings and after like only 10 minutes it comes with the low back-ache and period pain. The most annoying part is just how wearying it all is. I have never had a 'difficult' pregnancy before...so i guess i am simply ticking that box lol.

:-( I hope that bubs can stay put for the next 2.5 weeks then, so you can have another homebirth. x

That's a bummer - I thought HB was ok from 36? I guess she will have to stay put a bit longer. I am sure I have said before, these italian babies of yours are drama queens right from the start!

I had my second boy at 37 weeks LMP dates or 35 weeks baby age scan dates and he was perfect ....and the hospital agreed to induce that labour as i was having on and off again labour for 2 weeks prior and then my bp went up so the gp sent me to the hospital where i eventually had a baby.... 48 hours later we were home

Not to derail - sorry Cassius - but 37 weeks is considered "term" right? So this probably isn't the greatest example So much happens in those last few weeks of gestation, between where Cassius's LO is now (34wks) and 37wks!

Hun, I hope you are resting up as best as you can with your own definition of "resting" and enjoying your "wearying" pregnancy. Maybe she just wanted to be different from your other two???

Hang in there bub, mummy wants another lovely HB!

yes you are right and i realised that after i reread it .... my point being if the pregnancy gets to the baby being 37 weeks LMP (35 weeks baby age) which is the lower end of term the baby should be ok and well enough to come home.. (but again i know a post term baby at 42 weekers can end up in SCN ).

just to add : sorry im assuming Cassius is refering that the baby is 34 weeks old from scan dates ( 36 wks LMP) if not and it is 34 LMP i do appologise and please disregard my post ...

I'd be assuming 34 weeks from LMP... I've not heard of the two different dating methods before, fourth pregnancy for me and GP/Obs/MWs have only ever referred to LMP.

I think most people date pregnancies from lmp, and in fact this is also the date we give women at scans.
