yes but the longer it stays in the more developed it will be their little lungs need the whole time to develop correctly or they may have to spend a while in the hospital like my daughter did. dont worry mine is now a healthy 17yr old
Yes but not advised! My son was born at 35 weeks, in the country where I live (HK) once you go into labour after 34 weeks they do not try and stop it and they do not give you a steroid injection for the baby's lungs.
My son spent a week in hospital after birth.
He needed two days on a ventilater, to help with his breathing.
He had a feeding tube for two days as his sucking reflex had yet to develop.
He was jaundiced (common in premature and pre term babies).
We were told the two biggest issues with babies born at 35 weeks is the breathing and feeding due to a lack of maturity with the lungs, and the lack of a sucking reflex.
But he is now seven months old and happy and healthy.
He weighed 2.5kg at birth which is a good weight for 35 weeks.
