Premature baby (36 weeks delivery)

Are babies born at 36 weeks going to be fine? I will most probably deliver my boy at 36 weeks and am scared of NICU complications etc... he is only 2.4kg now

Hey mama, what a Gynae estimates through an ultrasound is a guesstimate of how baby is growing. No one can really know how heavy or big baby is from a scan. While 36 weeks is considered premature, there have been many a success story of babies being born at 36 weeks and being perfectly fine with healthy weights. The important thing that you need to do now is to trust your body on that it knows exactly what to do and to trust your instincts too. Worrying will not help so try to distract yourself. You’ve come this far and does so well, now leave the rest to Mother Nature :)
