Preterm delivery: About 8% of births in the United States occur between 34 and 36 week , which is considered late preterm. The babies simply need a little bit of supportive care with breathing and watching their sugars however there otherwise generally healthy. Nothing to worry about as long as you're seeing your pediatrician.
