A member asked:
What is risk of being born 8 wk early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breathing issues: 32 week gestations are very well cared for these days by nicu trained physicians and nurses. Typical problems due to prematurity include temporary breathing and feeding problems that are usually outgrown in the first few weeks of ICU care. There is a slight increased risk of infection during this period as well.
