Do babies born at 37 weeks need the NICU?

My baby was born at 36 and 5 and she was 8lbs 6oz n never went to nicu

No i had 2 kids at 36 weeks and twins at 35 weeks and 5 days no nicu

My son was born at 37 weeks without issues

Nope! Mine was 37 and healthy as can be!!

I had twins at 36weeks
only one of my boys needed togo nicu for 3 days for low blood sugar

I’d assume that only if the child has a need for it. At 37 weeks the baby is viable outside the womb.

I had my son at 37 weeks. No nicu

Not necessarily… mine at 35 was fine. Kept in L& D for extra hour to be checked on.

Mine was 37 almost 38 weeks and I had GD and everything was fine with her.

Lungs are fully developed at 35 weeks, baby will be fine.

I have my son at 37.2 and we was 7.13 and perfect

Had all of mine at 36 weeks. They were all fine.

My daughter was 37 and 5 days…no nicu

I was Gestational and I did 38 week induction and my boy was fine

My daughter was born at 37w+1d in 2008. She didn’t go into the NICU.

My 4th was induced at 37 weeks. He was fine no NICU

36 weeks is actually considered full term.

My daughter was born at 37 1/2 weeks and was 7lbs 11oz and she was doing good.

Alot of times they will do an amniocentesis prior to induction to ensure development of lungs to avoid nicu

i had to be induced a week early with my last 3 babies due to high risk pregnancies , none of them had to go to nicu. :purple_heart:

My son was 3 weeks early and weighed 5.13 and no nicu.

My last 3 were born at 38 weeks…that’s considered full term

37-38 seems to be the norm i have only known very few to go 40+

Usually they don’t but if they habe breathing issues or can’t keep their temp up they will.

36 weeks at 7lbs 10oz and went home in 48 hours

I had mine at 38 no NICU needed most babies porn after 35 week will not need to be in the NICU unless they have other issues other then weight problems. My cousin just had one at 38 or 39 weeks at 8lbs had to go to the NICU bcuz ither issues

My son w born 36 wks nd 5 days. My dughter right at 37 wks. Both were fine.

I had 3 kids. 38 wks, 37 wks and 35.2 wks. None went to NICU. Even my 35 weeker when I had eclampsia.

37 weeks is technically full term

Had all my kids around 37 and 38 wks all fine no ICU needed

Mine was born at 37+2 and we went home less than 48 hours later.

My 3 were all 37/38 weeks. No nicu. But we were 37 wks & 7lbs12oz, 38 wks & 8lbs10oz & 38 wks & 8lbs4oz.

All 4 of mine were born at 37, 38, 39 and 40 weeks. And in that order. With the 37 week son I went into labour naturally and he was fine.

Both my boys were born at 34 weeks and are now 9 and 10

Both of mine was 38 wks and they did good

I had my twins at 35w4d but they came out doing everything my older boys did that went over 40 weeks and were just over 5lbs… but I guess it really just depends it’s scary to think about I hope everything works out awesome for you good luck and congratulations on your little blessings!

I daughter was born at 37 and was fine

My daughter was born at 38 weeks. 7 pounds and 1 oz. No NICU and she was perfectly healthy and latched as well

It all depends on little ones ling development and any other issues that can happen with any baby that’s induced

Technically 37 weeks is considered “term” BUT anything could happen :heart:

37 is considered full term should not need NICU

No. I was induced and considered full term at 37 weeks.

My 37 weeker was 4lbs 10oz and no nicu at all.

My son at .39 weeks my daughter at 37 all good

I had 3 babies born at 35 weeks. All small, but got to go home at normal time.

I’ve had a 37weeker in the nicu and a 41weeker.

No I had 2 kids at 37 weeks

I delivered at 38 weeks and my son weighed 9’ 3 oz.

Induced at 37 apgar was an 8 you should be good mama

I had mine at 36 weeks and 3 days all 3.5 weeks early they all did fine first one was 7.6 second 8:14 and third 8:13

I had one at 37 and one at 38 and both were fine and latched on well

Usually they will do the steroid shot and should be fine.

Your baby should be fine at 37-38 weeks. Both my boys 6 weeks early and no problem

37 weeks is officially considered full term everything will probably be fine

No overdue babies no when it’s times sometimes it’s us /doctors having a wrong dateline

Not usually no I was a 37 week baby. Usually there’s another issue

I had my twins at 35 weeks and they were fine

My son was born at 37 weeks, induced d/t preeclampsia . He’s fine

My middle was 36w 5lb 9oz did not go to nicu

My son was 37 weeks, was in the ICU for an hour

No they don’t, I had all my babies early from 37,36,35 weeks none in the icu-

I believe 36 weeks is considered full term or close enough. I had 2 30 weekers :roll_eyes:

I had one at 37 and the next at 38 no issues.

5 times is too much get a second opinion

37 weeks is considered term.

Mine did not its just every child and births developments are diferent

37 weeks its considered full term, I had my 4th baby at 37 and 2 days🙂

Anything over 36 weeks is considered full term

Depends if the baby is under weight under 5 pounds

If you had a large 40 week baby you’de more likely need the NICU

Mine did not - born at 36.5

Did you try sticking to the diet.
I was so scare for my babies, I sacrificed everything. :’(

I had preeclampsia and had my daughter at 37 weeks. She had zero complications and zero nicu time. She was a healthy 5 pound 13 oz baby. Breastfeeding came naturally to her. She gained weight regularly and is still in the 30th percentile. She’ll be 7 in October :blush::two_hearts: . Good luck!!

37 weeks are fine Only like 36 weeks and

Its posable u could need but depends on decelopment

My son who is 2 was born at 36.5 and had to go into NICU with low sugar levels but my GD wasn’t as well controlled as it was with my daughter that I just had 2 months ago at 37 weeks and she did not have to go to NICU.

Usually 37 week babies don’t need NICU. I have 7 kids, and 4 were early (dating as follows)
1- 37weeks
2- 40weeks
3- 41weeks
4- 42weeks
5- 35weeks
6- 37weeks
7- 35weeks
None of my kids needed NICU. Usually babies born after 36 weeks do perfectly fine without NICU and we were able to leave the hospital with our kids within 24 hours of giving birth.

They may start you on steroids to help the babys lungs develop just to be sure.

It honestly depends on the baby if they’re feeding okay and if they’re breathing good I’d say no.

Totally depends on baby.

I don’t know but good luck. How big do they think the baby is

My little cousin was a miracle. She was born at 20 weeks…in the NICU for about 2 months…my parents said she had to wear doll clothes for a while and what was scary about the whole thing was, her vocal cords never fully developed so When she was brought home, my aunt and uncle had to watch her all night long for when she cried because her cry was just a soft whimpering noise…she is now a healthy 13 year old with a very soft raspy voice! Love her to death!:heart:

37 weeks and my son was perfectly helathy
