What happens if i go into labor at 35 weeks will my baby have to stay in the nicu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It really depends: It really depends on the health condition of the baby at birth. Many premature infants do quite well and are released without a stay in the NICU. Your physician may give you steroids prior to delivery to accelerate lung maturity. Infants born between 34-36 weeks may need extra care in the hospital which can lengthen their stay
