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

36 weeks is considered "late pre-term". At 36 weeks, there are less risks of health complications for the baby. But still, considering that the pregnancy is not full-term, there are some risks of jaundice, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome, and difficulty in regulating temperature. If there are complications, babies may need to be admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
