Ques from 3rd tri re: lung maturity

LLB430

Just wondering if anybody had an amnio for lung maturity.  I will be 36w5d on Monday when I have the amnio.  I have been struggling with PIH since 30 weeks (was hosptialized for a week) and am scheduled for a C-section on Tuesday (baby is breech).  Just wondering if you had this done how far along were you when your baby had mature lungs... It sounds like I have a good chance of getting good results...Thanks for any info!

I didn't have an amnio, but I did deliver at 35w6d and both babies' lungs were mature. ?They came home with me. ?Good luck.

I thought I had read that after 32 wks the chances are really good for the lungs---good luck to you and baby!

I also didn't have the amnio, but I delivered right at 37 weeks and she was as healthy as could be.  Since you're almost to term, I'm sure the baby has developed just fine.  GL!

I had the steriod shots at 32 weeks, and an amnio done at 36w2d. I delivered at 36w4d and my girls were just fine (albeit tiny).

are you having a boy or a girl?

lungs develop slower in boys - actually last out of black/white boys/girls.

I had steroids at 24 weeks and delivered at 34 weeks.  I also didn't have any measurable amniotic fluid from 30-34 weeks.  Her lungs were mature, she never needed any oxygen.

I was shceduled for an amnio but ended up getting induced instead at 35 weeks when my bp hit 211/116. I had severe pre-e.

He had respitory distress syndrome, needed O2 and the Cpap in the nicu, was there 17 days.

But as you can see, I am in the minority here so I'm sure you'll be fine!!

Good luck!!!

I delivered my son last weekend. Depending on which date you go by baby was between 36w4d and 37w2d. I had an emergency C-Section.

I didn't have an amnio, but delivered DD at 35w4d and her lungs were fine.

I also delivered early due to PIH and her lungs were mature at 35 weeks. They were worried she would need to be on oxygen for up to 2 weeks but once she arrived she was fine! Good luck with everything.

I delivered at 35 weeks (unexpectingly).  DD had respiratory distress syndrome and was on oxygen and CPAP for a day.  They monitored her for two days and she came home after four days.
