Since 35 weeks of pregnancy, the chances of surviving in a premature baby are very high. After all, all the internal organs of the fetus are already formed and fully functional. But the main vulnerable point is the small weight of the child. As a rule, it varies between 1,000 and 2,000 gr. If less, the risk of losing a baby increases.
But at the same time, preterm delivery at week 35 is considered an unfavorable outcome of pregnancy. Certainly, development in the womb of the mother carries less risks for a miniature organism.
However, there are cases when further pregnancy is a serious threat to the life of the child. Therefore, artificial premature birth is urgently prescribed.
Causes of preterm delivery at 35 weeks
Among the reasons that can trigger unplanned births are: complications of pregnancy, chronic diseases of the mother (diabetes, urinary and cardiovascular system), infectious diseases, fetal hypoxia, placental abruption , etc.
Also, often at 35 weeks there are childbirth twins. The general development of toddlers by this time - growth, weight and internal organs are already sufficiently developed and ready for adaptation in a new world.
Disturbing symptoms of the onset of labor at this stage can be: severe weight loss of the mother, pain in the perineum, departure of the mucous plug, the passage of water. At the slightest manifestation of such symptoms, it is urgent to go to the hospital to save the crumbs.
Consequences of labor in 35 weeks of pregnancy
If we consider the health of the mother, it should be said that for her, they do not bear any special differences, in comparison with the planned resolution. On the contrary, due to the small size of the fetus, it can have minimal perineal ruptures.
But with subsequent pregnancy, the woman will be under constant control of the gynecologist, to prevent the risk of new premature births.
Most of all troubles can bring psychological discomfort.
The consequences for the newborn depend on the individual characteristics of development. Some babies do not need intensive care. To others it is vital. But all babies receive medical support to accelerate growth and development.
In most cases, in the future healthy babies grow up, in no way inferior to their peers born in time. Childbirth at 35 weeks is a certain risk. And yet, with proper care for crumbs, using modern equipment and medicines, there is a very high probability of giving birth and raising a healthy and happy child.
