Childbirth at 36 weeks: whether it is worth to be afraid of childbirth at 36 weeks, photo of newborns and video comments of specialists

Preterm delivery at 35-36 weeks of gestation

If we believe statistics, such an outcomepregnancy occurs in about 7% of Russians. More often the start of early delivery is provoked by gynecological and obstetrical pathologies, as well as infectious diseases that the woman suffered in the previous 8 months. But the causes of preterm birth may be different:

• 
  increased uterus tone;


• 
  pathology of the genital organ;


• 
  polyhydramnios;


• 
  presentation or detachment of the placenta;


• 
  leakage of amniotic fluid.

Of no small importance is the general health of the future mother. So, labor before the term can provoke extragenital pathologies, which do not refer to gynecological:

• 
  kidney and adrenal diseases;


• 
  endocrine disorders in the body: the failure of the secretion of thyroid hormones, pituitary and ovarian diseases;


• 
  diseases of the cardiovascular system.

In addition, women can be given birth in 35-36 weeks, in the womb of which a rather large fetus develops. Important role can play a great stress or physical load.

It should be understood that the differences between obstetric andThe actual period of pregnancy can vary up to 12-14 days. This explains the fact that births at week 36 often give birth to fully healthy, full-term babies who, according to all indicators, respond to a 38-week development. Therefore, such early births in a number of cases is a completely normal physiological process.

Childbirth at 36 weeks: dangerous or not

With confidence, we can say that for momthere is no danger in the birth of the child at week 36, since the baby during this period already takes a physiological position for a normal passage through the birth canal. Most likely, early delivery will be a great stress for a woman due to the unexpected onset of this process. However, in some cases, there may be a lack of lactation in the postpartum period, but with the help of qualified health workers this process can be adjusted in the first days after the baby's birth.

For a child born before the due date,there is also no great danger, since by this time most of his organs can already work outside the mother's womb. Of course, such children need special attention and care in the first months of life from both mother and perinatal center specialists. But today medicine has all the necessary knowledge to fully exit babies born from the 22nd week of intrauterine development, whose weight is slightly more than 500 grams. Modern therapeutic methods provide an opportunity to support the normal development of premature babies and prepare them for further normal growth.

The weight of the child at 36 weeks gestation: the norm

At this time of pregnancy the baby weighs approximately2200-2700 grams, and its height is 42-47 cm. But these parameters are individual and can depend on the nutrition of the future mother during the bearing of the baby, the physiological characteristics of the parents and other factors.

During this period, the fetus begins activelyaccumulate subcutaneous fatty tissue, so its weight is rapidly approaching normal values. The 36-week-old baby has already rounded cheeks and the body is rather plump.

It is worth noting that with proper care for the born premature baby and established nutrition in the first month after birth, he overtakes the weight of his full-term peers.

The doctors' opinion on premature delivery at week 36

By that time most of the bodies are already fullyis formed, but at the 36th week of development, this process is completed for the immune, respiratory and endocrine systems. Most of these babies are already capable of independent breathing, but if the lungs do not open, they are observed in the intensive care unit.

Problems with thermoregulation are common,because the existing fatty layer is not yet able to fully retain heat. In some premature infants, neurological disorders may appear immediately after birth or with age, which can manifest itself in sleep disturbances, weak reflexes, anxiety and hyperexcitability.

There is a risk of a prolonged flow of jelly, which is associated withwith a large accumulation of bilirubin in the body. Because of weak immunity and underdevelopment of the respiratory system, such babies run the risk of contracting pneumonia, so they have to spend the first time after birth in a cuvette - the so-called incubator for newborns.

In general, doctors do not see the danger in premature birth. The studied statistical data confirm that the percentage of their complications and pathologies does not exceed the normative values.
