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
