[quote=Anonymous]I've just had my third at 34 weeks, 3 days via a C-section. My first two were full term and delivered vaginally. The baby was completely fine - breathed on his own, ate on his own. Spent two weeks in the special care nursery (I don't think they even call it a NICU at this age). I did have two steroid shots to help his lungs open before delivery. All that is to say that 34-weekers tend to do well. They spend minimal time at the NICU. One thing you'll have to work on (if that's important to you) is breastfeeding because at this age they are too weak to nurse properly and will have to be formula fed. I had to pump for a week and he built up strength to nurse more gradually. In your case it sounds like the dr wants the baby out for safety reasons so I would go ahead and get him out. [/quote]
