hi
I’m a new member. This is my first pregnancy n EDD is 25th Jan, have completed 30 week.
I’m much tensed about the 8th months cos I have heard that this is the most complicated months, my friends told me that now I have to just take rest no work. In this month if delivery took place it will be dangerous. I leave alone there is no one who can help me I’m very scared I don’t know what to do due to this I’m having sleepless nights n feel very restless. So pls if u can suggest some thing then pls help me out to overcome form this situation.

If you sum all responses you will understand it's absolutely baseless worry.
I like Soni's statement, sleep well as sleeplessnights are coming on your way! Way to go, Soni.

Dipti, you are worried on an aspect thats a pure myth and may have been spread for no reason centuries ago.

With state of art facility and digital development progress of fetus babies born after 28 weeks (in the midst of their 7th month) have high chances of survival. If this the medical fact then what should be wrong with a baby if born in or after 31st week. The answer is nothing is wrong rather baby is better developed, each day makes babys lung develop speedy in 8th month and if you have had a touch wood pregnancy then first of all there is no reason to suspect a preterm labor (in 8th month) and if that's what in queue you may take help of medicine to stop it ahead of time or worse come worse if that appears all of sudden then also baby will be just fine.

Personally I see no reason to get worried and all sad and you should not use \" sad\" icon for any queries unless you have experience sort of mishap, which we don't expect to happen to you or anyone around here.

Enjoy pregnancy and take lot of rest as your baby will keep you awake after birth.

I would not be surprised if you come in 39th or 40th week asking when can I delivery and why I am not yet delivered!

Welcome to Jan board. .
Well this is my second pregnancy and even i was scared to hell in the 8th month of my first pregnancy. People warned me about 8th month delivery that i took 2 wks leave so that i can take complete bed rest. But when I met my doc and told her about my apprehensions she assured me that 7th month is much more crucial than the 8th month. In case delivery takes place in 8ths month, the baby have more chances of survival as he is more developed .

So these are all myths and do not get perturbed over useless things. For me I feel each day is crucial, be positive and just pray to god .

Regards,
Maya
