Hello ladies, I posted this on the 2nd tri board, but noone sees to be able to help me with this.I am just wondering if anyone has been through this. With my first daughter, my uterus tore. I had an emergency c-section. With my second, I was scheduled to have a c-section 2 weeks early and went into labor 3 weeks early and had another c-section. Doctor said my uterus was extremely thin and if I would have waited any longer there would have been major problems. This time around, because of my history, they are going to do an amnio at 36 weeks and if the baby is ready, they will take him out at 36 weeks. I am nervous because of the amnio (i'm only 27, never have had one) and also because my daughter who came at 37 weeks had to go into the NICU because all the fluid did not come out of her lungs so I worry 36 weeks may be too early. Anyone experience similar?

36 weeks is an average when the babies lungs should be developed enough to live outside the womb, the amnio is soo important to do just so they know if they can or cant do it. The reason why csection babies have breathing problems is the majority have fluid still in there lungs because a natural delivery helps squeeze these fluids out, or thats how it was explained to me. My 1st son had some minor breathing trouble because of left over fluid. good luck and take care
