I understand you. Both my babies passed away, so I always go over the 'what ifs' in my head. I can't even choose a name for a future baby now because what if I'm jinxing myself? I'm sorry to hear about your sons anyway.Quote:

Wanting, I know what you mean, my oldest is autistic and the what ifs drive me crazy. My ds2 seems very very neurotypical thank goodness but now I am nervous again with ds3 even adter a nt child. I too made sure to go past 39 weeks and avoid certain things during pregnancy and even now.
This makes me sad:(
DS1 was 38 + 4 induced for high blood pressure
DS2 was 34 induced for IUGR (he had stopped growing in the womb)
DS3 was 37 + 5 induced for high blood pressure
DD was 37 + 5 induced for high blood pressure
All children are healthy thank God!! But DS3 has sensitivities and over stimulation issues. I KNOW he wasn't ready to be born when he was. Hopefully, somehow ill make it to at least 39 weeks with this one.
pretty scary for anyone pregnant with twins--no way to get to 39 weeks!
Well my first son my neuro-typical one was a 36 weeker but still I wouldn't choose to have them early and I think if I went in labour Before 39 I would prob take some magnesium to try to stop it cause that is quite substantial brain growth!
And don't feel bad for having early babies when medically nessisary... There's nothing u could have done about that
there are twin moms who make it to edd:) just gotta eat super well and take care of yourself. of course even then babes have a mind of their own. the point is you can't beat yourself up about it if they come early or a real medical reason to induce but to be educated and for docs to make better decisions and not induce early for many reasons that are not emergencies:)
And some women naturally go into labor before 39 weeks...wonder if it's safe to say baby is ready in all aspects if it occurs after 37 weeks?
That is so hard for me to read.. I have had 2 babies born before 39 weeks both at 37 weeks due to my liver problems and the risk of stillbirth and I have suffered bad depression over having my babies early.. I still feel terrible about it
