As in most cases, it depends on a variety of factors. But for the most part, babies born at 36 weeks do just fine. My child was born at 33 weeks at about 1.8kgs and spent a couple of weeks being monitored in NICU. She's consistently been above the 95th percentile for height and weight since she was 5 months old. Delivery before 37 weeks is getting very common now all over the world. And many doctors here in SG are quite positive about 32 weeks + gestations. Wishing all you expecting mamas the very best :)
