Hi...Here is my situation...I went to the doctor today and she said she will do my c-sec next Friday if I have an amnio done and the test comes back that my baby girl's lungs are mature. I will be 37 weeks 4 days. Has anybody had a baby around this time and the lungs been okay or not okay. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Your baby will be considered full term. If a woman goes into labor at 37 weeks the doctors are more than happy to let her deliver.

Delivering v____ally at 37 weeks is fine, because the baby's lungs strengthen during labour and the issue about the lungs isn't as worrisome as with a c-section. For a c-section, they generally want you to wait until you are 38 weeks.

I had my second daughter and 37 weeks and she was healthy as can be :) Now my son was born at 36 weeks and was in NICU for 9 days. Undeveloped lungs and other thigns. But doctors told me girls develop quicker than they boys at the late gestational age
