I know for me, once I hit 25 weeks I knew that my daughter had like a 85% of survival (but I knew she'd have alot of problems)

But once I hit 29 weeks, I was even more relieved! (Of course I don't want her coming before I'm full term, but just knowing she'd survive is so relaxing)

What about you, is there a certain "week" that you just was like "ahh I can relax"

Anything, like you said, past 24 weeks, I ALWAYS feel better.

And with this pregnancy, I'll be EXSTATIC to make it to 34 weeks, so that will be my HAPPY week!

I was happy to reach the second trimester. Now I'm getting apprehensive about to go into the third because that is the riskiest trimester with my blood disorder. Prayers are appreciated, lol

I've never really been worried as long as I hit 8 weeks just fine in my mind I feel like I will be ok. I also have a feeling that if I worried constantly about it I would jinx is. I also tend to be extremely relieved the 1st time I hear the heartbeat.

I feel alot of relief this week (30 weeks), but I will be thrilled once I hit 34 weeks. I live in a small town and if I go into labor before 34 weeks, I will have to take a helicopter ride to Tucson which is an hour away. So once I hit 34 weeks, it will bring peace of mind that I can deliver at the hospital down the street!

Mine is currently set at 32 weeks. (1.5 weeks to go!!!) I had some preterm labor and issues since 25 weeks, so I am approaching holding this baby in for an additional 6 more weeks! At 32 weeks, my doctor said I can stop feeling like a timebomb!!
