My daughter was born at 25 weeks.  Spent 115 days in the NICU.  Complications included learning how to breathe, suck, eat, keep her heart beating,  battling infections (sepsis from staph), eye and ear development.  The list goes on and on.   BUT, she's a perfect 2 year old now, no remaining issues, except my PTSD.

I would have KILLED to be as far along as you,  the complications are so much less severe.  Modern medicine truly can work miracles.  Full term is best, but your little one has a very good chance at being just fine (eventually), if,  god forbid,  you went into labor soon.

Good luck!

My stepson was born at 36 weeks with no complications! My hubby was born at 35+3 and had a blood disorder, but it wasn't birth related.
