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.  ;-)
