    Is it safe to deliver now?
    I am 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant and am having strong Brackstin Hicks and I'm on bed rest. I was wondering if it would be safe to deliver if I was to go into full blown labor

    Baby still has 5 weeks of organ development to go. Brain and lungs aren't fully developed yet.

    With that said, I've delivered 35 weekers who came out kicking and screaming (my daughter was one of them), but I've delivered others who went straight to the NICU.

    J_9, I know you are an amazing nurse, but I had no idea that you delivered your own daughter!

    Lol, joy! That would be amazing. Even more amazing because I wasn't a nurse when she was born! Actually, my husband delivered her, and he's a gunsmith! 😵
