Premature baby (36 weeks delivery)
Are babies born at 36 weeks going to be fine? I will most probably deliver my boy at 36 weeks and am scared of NICU complications etc... he is only 2.4kg now

I delivered at 33 weeks. Don’t worry, 36 weeks is considered late preterm. As long as 34 weeks, they r usually comfortable to deliver the baby. But they will also look at the weight of the baby and do some scans to make sure they are confident. Anyway, mine was abit more problematic because it was earlier than 34 weeks, so I had to take steroid jabs to mature the baby’s lungs quickly before they could deliver him. my baby stayed in nicu for 9 days where he received superb care. No issues. He’s 5mo now and healthy. But all in all, nothing scary and no complications.
