Yes,but: You don't want baby to come that early.If you think you are having signs of early labor you need to contact your OB and discuss it. Babies at 36 wks have a significant risk of premature lung disease that declines every additional day you stay pregnant. Early recognition of premature labor allows the OB a chance to stop it with meds.
