Brief Answer:
See detailed description

Detailed Answer:
Hello, it is common for the baby to change position time and again which will stabilise by 36 weeks but in case liquor decreases further or there is excessive discharge per vaginum which is suggestive of rupture of bag of waters then further change in position wont be possible.
And in case position of the baby stays breech then there are more chances of cesarean delivery.
Excessive discharge per vaginum as said earlier means rupture of bag of water and then you will need to rush to hospital immediately.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry after 36 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Liqour escape will be watery and profuse which will escape suddenly and soil clothes completely.
argiprime powder increases the amount of Liqour and not increase stability of membranes.
In case delivery occurrs after 36 weeks there is nothing to worry about baby maturity but in case the position of baby is breech then there are increased chances of cesarean section.
Just relax and take as much rest as possible. Take care.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Anything can happen after this as argipreg will only increase the amount of liquor and will not help in prevention of rupture of bag of water.
Between 34-36 weeks there are 50:50 chances of NICU admission but most of the babies eventually fair quite well and are shifted to the mother's side in a couple of days.
Just try to avoid exertion and take lots of rest.
NICU is needed to assess the maturity of baby and provide respiratory or feeding support to the baby.
Hope everything will be in control.
All the best.
