One of my friends just had a preterm delivery, her baby boy is in the nicu. She had an emergency C-section. I would like to do a care package for her but on the cheaper side. Any ideas on what I could get her & baby?

Natural childbirth before term: what to do?
You're all set, waiting for the due date, and counting the days.
- Except that your baby is in a greater hurry than expected to meet her family and that contractions disrupt your plans.
- If you are less than 8 months pregnant, it is better to go to the maternity hospital as soon as possible in order to be taken care of quickly.
- Giving birth too early can have consequences for your baby's health.
- However, if you are in the last month of pregnancy, don't worry, the baby is usually ready to come out!

I'm at risk for preterm delivery and I'm wondering of its sage to have sex at 31 weeks and 5 days knowing I'm at risk. I'm feeling spicy.

If you're a high risk then I'd suggest not maybe

I'm 27 weeks, my last child was preterm at 34 weeks and I had a retained placenta.. I'm currently experiencing lots of pelvic pressure, back pain and every other day pinkish/light brown discharge, could it be possible I'm going to have another preterm delivery??

Anyone else high risk for preterm labor due to a previous preterm baby? If so how did your appointments go from 26 weeks going forward and was your second early too?
Allison
I am considered high risk for preterm labor ,both my kids before this one were both early . They were born at 33 weeks and 34 weeks . We sure thought I was going to go early . Here I am about to be 36 weeks on Monday. At 28 weeks I got the shots for his lungs . They pretty told me if I feel contractions and what not . I was told to to labor and delivery.

Did they know a reason for why your previous births were preterm? My son was born at 34 weeks and they didn’t have a reason to why other than he didn’t wanna stay in and I was slowly leaking fluid.
