Anyone WITHOUT pregnancy complications still deliver "early"

lrrb · September 2011

I have "early" in quote bc I know almost all twins are at least a tiny bit early but my questions is has anyone had a picture picture pregnancy and still go on to deliver before say 36 weeks???

Just wondering....

Thanks!

After a pretty uneventful pregnancy and no labor signs at all, ours were delivered at 35w1d due to a growth scan 3 days prior showing baby A had pretty much stopped growing (a bit over half a pound in a month ). Turned out she was even smaller than that, so true IUGR and good we delivered! Not sure if that falls under complications to you:)

Thanks exactly what I mean...going almost to "full term" but still ending up having them earlier than expected.

I was great until 35w3d and at a dr appt my liver enzymes were high and my platelets were really low, by the middle of the night they decided I had HELLPS and they delivered me at 35w4d.

So no complications until the last day

I did - I had a very easy pregnancy with no signs of pre-term labor or any other complications and still delivered at 34w2d. I had an OB appt on a wednesday and he did an internal and told me I wouldn't deliver anytime soon. The girls had other plans though and my water ruptured around 3am. I was in the OR by noon for a c/s. Everything went smoothly and the girls were healthy. They just needed 2 weeks in the nicu to feed and grow.

Well, mine wasn't picture perfect as I had regular contrax at 25 weeks & was on modified bedrest but that was the only episode of anything that occurred (other than carpal tunnel UGH). I delivered at 36 weeks.

I never had a problem. I woke one day and took Emerson to school and just wanted to crawl back into bed. When it was time to go get her I didn't want to get up. When I did I had weird sensation down tops of my legs. It didn't hurt but, weird. I called my H and asked him to get Em so, I could go to the dr...I just had a feeling I needed to.

Turns out that I was having regular contrax. Since I was a repeat section and I was 34.6 wks they decided it was in my best interest to deliver that evening before I really got into the heavy labor. : ) Hudson was 5.9 lbs and Landry was 4.2 and both in the NICU for 14 days for eating/growing....Hudson was burning to many calories trying to keep warm.

Mine, no complications at all the whole pregnancy and I went into labor suddenly and fast and delivered that night at 35 weeks 5 days. I really thought and had hoped I would make it to my c-section at 38 weeks.

I had an uneventful pregnancy until 29ish weeks when I supposedly had fluid issues with my girls and some contractions (which I never really felt), but I never felt like they were terribly "eventful" complications. Like pp though, I delivered at 35w6d because one girl hadn't grown since the previous growth scan and at that point, they consider them better off out rather than in.

pea-kay · September 2011

not sure if this is what you mean, but i delivered when i did because of pre-e, not because of labor or anything. i had NSTs every day in the hospital and never registered a contraction. but my BP started going up at 32 weeks, so i delivered at 33w2d.

lele144 · September 2011

Picture perfect until 31 weeks when my water broke. Only issue was a week before that went into l &d a week before for cramping. Ffn test was negative and no contractions. So much for the ffn test, I thought I bought myself 2 more weeks. 99.9% accurate my ass. I delivered a week later. I guess I'm the 1%.

I had a happy, healthy, very active pregnancy. My OB thought baby A hadn't grown much since my previous appt at 33w. Went straight to an MFM for another u/s. Both docs thought A was IUGR and we needed to deliver the next day at 34.4 weeks. It was a bit of a false alarm since they were 4.9 and 4.13, but I'm glad they were cautious.

Don't stress yourself out about maybe going early. Yes, sometimes it happens and sometimes is doesn't. Relax and just baby cook. Big Smile

SusRed · September 2011

I did. No problems at all and they were born at 35 weeks with an emergency c-section because my son was pushing my daugher so hard her heart rate was going up over 200. the twins spent 11 days in nicu.

Nat1777 · September 2011

Yup, no complications at all and I went into labor at 35.5 weeks and delivered fine. 5 lbs, 8 oz and 5 lbs, 6 oz. No NICU. Apgar 9s. My OB had predicted I would make it to 38 weeks.

Solafide · September 2011

I haven't delivered yet but I've had an uneventful and complication free pregnancy and they are still cooking away at 36w 1d. I'm hoping they come soon because I.am.ready.

lrrb · September 2011

Thanks ladies. Everything just seems to be perfect here at 27 weeks and of course I know I have a long time before I can say my pregnancy was "uncomplicated" but of course I'm worried sick Ill be walking around the mall at like 33 weeks and boom my water breaks haha. I guess I just need to be ready for anything at any time!

Thanks ladies for sharing your stories!

I had gestational diabetes, but under perfect control. I had no contractions, fluid was great, everything was perfect until my water broke at 34.5. They spent 17 days in the NICU, and now they're doing fine. I never had a contraction

Fancy3Face · September 2011

I didn't have huge complications (GD). At my NST at 32w I was diagnosed with PIH, then pre-e and put on hospital bed rest. I didn't deliver until 36w1d though.

Not sure if that's what you mean.

So I delivered at 36w1d, and my scheduled c-section was for 37w. I was feeling decreased movements...(I still felt movements, but a lot less in that last week). I pretty much freaked out throughout the whole pregnancy...even though nothing bad ever happened and everything was always perfect. So the docs were being extra cautious and figured since I was only 6days before my actual c-section that they would just go ahead and deliver me. I was happy because i just couldn't be pregnant anymore. In hindsight, I think they probably should have been more tough with me and sent me home until I was 37w. My babies were 6lbs8oz and 6lbs3oz at 36w1d.

at 24 weeks I had an OB visit and an ultrasound. The doctor said everything was perfect and the ultrasound showed two healthy babies and a long full cervix. At 26 weeks I started having contractions. My doctor did an ultrasound and found that I was fully effaced and 1 cm dilated. I delivered 5 days later. The doctors had no idea why I went from a perfect pregnancy to delivering preemies.

Count me in this group. I felt fine and things were going great and then my water broke at 33w 3d and I had my girls 5 hours later at 33w 4d.

My feet were getting pretty swollen and the only thing I could wear were flip flops. My mom even said I didnt look right and I was planning on staying home from work the next day. Hours later my water broke and after getting one steroid shot and being told they were going to stop contractions, the girls were born anyway.

kkghotty · September 2011

Yes, I had a very uneventful pregnancy. I had one very minor PTL issue when I was about 29 weeks...I wasn't having contractions, but had an irritable uterus. It was so minor that I didn't even receive steroid shots. My doctor took me out of work at 26 weeks as a preventative and I was mainly housebound from then until I delievered (again, purely as a preventative measure).

My water still broke at 32w1d and we were all shocked. I got the steroid shots then and made it 4 days with Baby A's sack ruptured. My twins were born at 32w5d.

meldoo2002 · September 2011

Yes... no complications until Feb. 14th... my water broke on Feb. 14th totally unexpectedly. I delivered the next day... 10 weeks early.
