Who all has had their babies around 35 weeks? Any NICU stay? How much did they weigh?

My doctor may induce me tomorrow due to medical reasons and I'll be 35 weeks and 1 day.  I'm just worried.

I had my daughter at 34 weeks she was 3 lbs 1 oz 15 inches she had jaundice shortly after she was born and had to get photo therapy for about a week and was released after 14 days at 3 lbs 5 oz your little bundle of joy should be just fine. Say your prayers and be strong for your baby.

I was born a month early, I only weighted 4 LBS 9 Oz, and I was discharged after 24 hours, but my mom had some complications during the birth so she had to stay for 2 weeks in the hospital, which meant so did I. So I was in the hospital for 2 weeks but only cause I needed moms milk

I had my son 5 days ago via c section cuz of preclamsia and he was 35 weeks and 4 days and he's still in the nicu but he's doing really good and everything cleared up pretty quick except the only thing is he needs to stay in there cuz he can't eat that well or latch on good so they need to sometimes feed him through a tube. My baby was a chunk at 7 lbs 6 oz and 18.5 in

My son was born @ 35 wks and weighed 6lbs 4oz. He had to stay for about 4 days. It's different between babies because some progress faster than others. The doctors told me he wouldn't breathe on his own and would need a feeding tube but he didn't need any of it. He just had slight jaundice.

I Had a friend that just had an emergency c-section at 33 weeks. Her baby was in the NICU for a couple days and she weighed 4lbs. However, her baby is doing just fine now. Usually babies born at 35+ weeks doesn't have any major health problems.
