I went to the doc with my sister, so that he could do her 6-week check up, and everything looked good. During the exam she mentioned that I was pregnant and that I had been having a little pressure the last couple days, so he went ahead and examined me. He said that everything looked great and that I was carrying well, but that he doesn’t think that I will make it to my due date, he said that I would be lucky to make it past 38 weeks because I am so small. He encouraged me to eat high fat foods to gain more weight, and to rest as much as possible. I am terrified now that I will have her too early and that something will be wrong with her.

Even if she came at like 36 weeks or something.. Normally the babys are fine then. Dont worry too much. But just do whatever the doctor things is best. If she comes early and u do everything ur supposed to do (as told by the doc) then its not ur fault and she was just ment to come early. But most babys are fine after 34 weeks~

Hey
Lots of people have their lil ones early. My niece was exactly 2 months and 3 days early and yes there were complications and it was a scary time, she made it and looking at her today, you'd never, ever know! I can't promise that if you had her early she'd be ok but I am sure she will be! Keep doing what the doc says and just keep doing a good job!
Love,
chanda

Thanks! I am trying really hard to do everything I am supposed to, i've gained a pound since last thursday, so I am 118 now, and gaining slowly. I've been counting kicks and she is moving around quiet a bit, her heartbeat was good and everything. I just want to make it to august, so I am taking it easy. I called my boss and told her I wasn't coming in to work today, I am just going to sit on my butt and relax the rest of the day. Thanks again kari and chanda!
