Hard to say: Since your other health issues are not available for review, limited assessment is possible. Baby is near term, but upwards of 10% will require special care even if born at term. Complications of pregnancy or labor can increase the risk.About 5% of newborns have an unexpected issue at birth (defect, prematurity, illness).Most pregnancies end up in a satisfactory outcome.
