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

Dont worry. 2.4kg is a good weight. Cutoff by hospital is 2kg. Usually will be able to go home like other babies. Mine was born at 1.97kg at 34+5 weeks so lungs not yet developed. She also got jaundice the following day but it's fine. Babies are stronger than you think. After 6 days of being in NICU, she gained the sufficient weight to be discharged and now is a healthy 2 yo.
