How long does an infant have to be hospitalized if born at 34 weeks but measuring three weeks too big?

The answer is: it just depends. What exactly do you mean by "measuring three weeks too big." Belly measurement? Ultrasound estimation of weight/due date? Or do you mean the baby is already born and it appears to be three weeks farther along than you thought? A newborn is hospitalized until it is able to breathe well on its own, stay warm on its own, and eat well, and be gaining weight. For full-term infants (38+ weeks), these things aren't usually an issue, but for preterm infants, they can be a challenge. Size doesn't correlate to maturity.

Can an ultra say your baby is measuring 8 weeks but it be less?
This can very well happen. As in most medicine, statistics play a mayor role. The ultrasound immages and measuring techniques can be a little bit wrong, but they are statistically correct. 8 weeks, 7 weeks, 9 weeks. It does not really matter in the end. The baby comes when it is ready :-)
