If my baby were born at 38 weeks what are the odds she would survive? Please give it to me straight.

  • Pretty much the same odds as at 40 weeks.

  • I'm pretty sure the odds are really high. I mean 36 weeks is technically considered full term and any time after that it just gets better.

    Our family is little and broken, but still good.

  • After 36 weeks you are pretty much in the clear with things.

  • It would probably be a perfectly healthy baby. A lot of babies are born at 38 weeks.

  • at 38, baby should be pretty much full term. GREAT odds.

  • umm...your child should be just fine. My daughter was born at 34 weeks and she was perfectly fine. She weighed 5lbs 11oz

  • Your baby will be fine.  My bff had both her girls at 35 weeks, they were a teeny bit small, but otherwise, she left the hospital with them after 48 hours.  They're both fine.  ;-)
