Birth at 34 weeks gestation

The appearance of a baby before the set time - the fear of any pregnant woman, it does not matter - there are reasons for this or not.

A baby born after the 38th week is considered to be born in time. Until this time, babies are premature. If premature birth occurred on the 34th week of pregnancy, the baby has not yet had time to gain a normal weight and it is about two kilograms. This is not so little, because modern medicine allows you to take care of even babies weighing 500 grams.
