What Is The Survival Rate Of A 34 Week Baby?
Preterm babies born between 31 and 34 weeks gestation have a greater than 95% chance of survival. Preterm babies have a better chance of surviving if they are cared for in a specialized nursery. The outcome for a preterm baby depends a lot on how early he or she is born.
Do babies born at 34 weeks need NICU?
At 34 weeks, many of the baby's bodily systems aren't mature enough, especially the lungs. Lungs don't reach their full formation until around 36 weeks. Fortunately, the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) at most hospitals are well-equipped to help a baby breathe on their own if they're born at 34 weeks.

Will a baby born at 34 weeks be OK?
Babies who are born after 34 weeks gestation have the same long-term health outcomes as babies who are delivered at full term (40 weeks). This means that if your baby is born when they are 34 weeks old, they have the same chances of being healthy as any other baby that wasn't born prematurely.
