The survival rate is about 90%.. however their is many factors to consider; such as birth weight, apgar score, was the mother given steroid injection while the baby was in the womb for lung matturity? Normally the outcome is okay, with maybe only a few days in the NICU for observation, however a prematture baby is always at higher risk for infection. Babies born at 35 weeks sometimes have a hard time mainaining their body temperature.
Both my children were earlier than 40 weeks. Thirty-seven and thirty-five weeks respectively. They were both healthy. The youngest had oxygen for about 2 hours, then did well. I worked in a newborn nursery for 18 years, and infants 37 weeks are considered term. Infants of mothers who experience episodes of preterm labor are more mature due to being stressed in utero. I would say yes, in the absence of underlying conditions, a 36 or 37 week infant will be okay.
Yes. At 36 weeks a baby is fully developed. He/she may be a little lighter than the majority of babies who are born. However, there should not be any problems. It should not mean that you and your baby have to stay in the hospital any longer.
Your baby would probably be OK, although might need to go in an incubator for a little while and might need a bit of help breathing
Yes, absolutely fine
A baby born before 37 weeks gestation
37 weeks. but the average is 32-36 weeks when they are born.
You can have it at 37 weeks, as they consider you full term at that point in time.
A baby born before 37 weeks gestation
It can take anywhere between 9 to 10 months. 9 months is equal to 36 weeks and 10 months is 40 weeks. A full-term baby is born anywhere from 37-40 weeks. A baby born before that is considered pre-term, or premature, and after that post-term.
When their gestational age is less than 37 weeks.
it is bout 36 or so weeks Cynthia: It takes 40 weeks but most girls have their baby two weeks early or two weeks later than their due date.
Yes, @ 37 weeks you are considered full term.
if the babie was born before 37 weeks
40 weeks
When a baby has been born too early it is called a premature baby.
The medical term for preemie is premature infant, referring to a baby born before completing 37 weeks of gestation.
