Hello ladies, I am hoping someone can help me with this. I was diagnosed with GD at 30 weeks. I am on insulin 4 times per day. I go in on tuesday to have an amnio done to see if my baby's lungs are developed and if they are they are going to take him out via c-section on Wednesday. The reason they are taking him out so early is due to a previous uteran tear. My fear is that his lungs are not mature and that they will not take him out and then I have to worry that my uterus will tear because it is thin and it cannot stretch anymore. So, my question is, has anyone had a baby at 36 weeks and if so, were his or her lungs mature? ↓
ok I will not lie. I had all the same things as you and delivered my son at 36 weeks. His lungs were not developed and was born with pnuemonia. I dont want that to scare you, but its the truth. He was in NICU for 9 very long days. But now he is 5 1/2 months old and healthy as can be. I wish I could give you some comfort in what you are going through, but just wait on the amnio and see what happens. They didnt do one on me since I was having serious complications and needed to be delivered. ↑
Thank You~ I am praying to God that the amnio turns out ok. I had a torn uterus with my 1st baby and that is the reason they want me delivered early. I just worry that he is not ready because then I am more at risk. I'm sure the doctors will do what is right! I am glad your baby is ok now. Thanks! ↑
I wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and for everything to go well with your precious little one and that your uterus will be strong to hold it in for as long as it needs to. Good luck and God's peace to you. ↑
Thank you Sarah! I got the results back and he is not ready yet. Of course I worry about myself and my uterus, but we also want him to he strong and healthy when he gets here. I am just going to take it easy until it is time for us to see when he is ready. I will admit, I am sad, I was looking forward to meeting him....but I much rather have him in my arms than in an incubator! ↑
Hi, I delivered at 38 weeks, but they think I was 37 (early discrepency of u/s). I had GD and was on Glubuderide. My son did have RDS and was on oxygen for 8 days. But he is fine now. I know it is scary but he will be fine if he does need oxygen. Try and relax and stay pregnant as long as you can, but even if he does need it, it won't hurt him in the long run. My mom tried to tell me to pretend I was still pregnant, but I just got a preview of the baby! ↑
hi i had G D but wasnt on insulin,my not so little one was delivered at 37 weeks and 3 days and was fine we had no problems thank goodness good luck to you both ↑
