you can leak fluid for a couple of weeks - it depends on the leak.
even at 34 weeks babies need to stay until they are eating and regulating their temperature on their own. they don't like to let babies go home before they are 5 lbs.

Never heard of them letting a baby go home that early. Usually in the nicu at least a week. They're close to full term but just not quite ready. Good luck.
