Healthy baby: Most likely, it means you have a healthy baby. In general babies born after 34 weeks (about 6 weeks before the EDD) tend to well, usually, without any major support from the Neonatologist. Of course, they are at higher risk for pre-term issues (RDS: Respiratory Distress Syndrome, NEC: Necrotizing Enterocolitis, feeding and temperature regulation issues, etc...). Congratulations!
