"How far along pregnant................"...

Question: I'm in between 33 to 35 weeks pregnant(not for sure which week because my due date keeps changing) and im worried about having my baby premature. Due to the fact that my babys been head down since the end of july and i keep having braxton hicks contraction (i think they are).So i was just wondering what's the earliest a baby can be born and still survive? how many weeks? how long did the baby have to stay in NICU?Any prombelms afterward? thankyou. serious reply's only please!

Answers:
First of all RELAX.....all is fine and you will probably easily go a few more weeks. Because of very advanced technology now, babies can be born earlier than ever and survive...they're usually pumped up w/ major steroids and medications to stimulate the growth of underdeveloped organs and there can be some problems/issues, but you are FINE...Braxton Hicks contractions are totally normal and as long as you are not regularly having them intensely and very frequently, you are right on target. My due date was changing all the time as well...I delivered 38 weeks after my supposed conception date, but they're often wrong about that conception date. Just relax and run all of your concerns by your doctor. Good luck!!!

I belive my cousin was premature by 3 months. He's a nice boy and just like any other boy. Hes 18. He had a few minor problems when he was a baby, but those problems, anyone could have.
