Answer 5

My nephew was delivered a month early by c-section, my sister was too small to carry him anymore, she only weighed 97 lbs when she got pregnant and tha doctor said the father had to be a giant ( we will never know, she was raped and the guy was never caught) he was fine he weighed 10 lb 11 1/2 oz a month early they did all the ultrasounds and of course she knew exactly when she got pregnant because she was a virgin when she was attacked, they had to monitor him for a few days but he is now 20 and a huge hulking guy but I still love him. My next to the youngest one was a month early because the doctor asked me if I was sure about my dates and even though I was they waited until the night before my scheduled c-section to tell me that according to the ultrasound that I had done 2 months earlier that I wasn't as far along as the dates indicated but since everything was already to go there was nothing we could do even though they set the c-section date after we had the ultrasound, she was fine, no problems with her, she is four now.

Answer 9

My brother and sister and I were all born a couple weeks early, all between 6-7 pounds and all healthy. Went home on time with mom.

Answer 10

37 weeks exactly.

a baby is considered term from 37 weeks on.

most often a baby will survive with minimal problems from 34 weeks on, although they will go to NICU. 32 weeks and up pretty much is ok too....obviously the longer the better up until about 41 weeks.

38 weeks 13 day's early he's great

Answer 12

37 weeks 6 days.  Baby was completely fine and very healthy.  Scheduled C Section due to high blood pressure and low amniotic fluid.
