Is the fetus ready to be born at 35 weeks?

  At 35 weeks, if there are no special circumstances, it is recommended to continue the pregnancy. Newborns born at 37-42 weeks of gestational age are called full-term babies, while those born at less than 37 full weeks of gestational age are called preterm babies. In most cases, preterm infants do not weigh 2500 g and have a head circumference of 33 cm or less, and all organs are not mature. At 35 weeks of gestational age, clinically known as late preterm birth, the birth has little impact on the later growth and development of the newborn after professional care.  If the following conditions occur at 35 weeks of gestation, it is recommended to stop the pregnancy according to medical advice. 1. fetal abnormalities: if fetal movement stops, fetal growth stops, abnormal fetal heartbeat, etc., it is recommended to contact the obstetrician at the hospital where the pregnancy was established in time to decide whether to continue the pregnancy according to medical advice. 2. maternal abnormalities: if the pregnant woman has severe gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, etc., and the severity makes it impossible to continue the pregnancy The doctor will decide whether to stop the pregnancy or not.  Even if the pregnancy is stopped because of the above-mentioned conditions, with the help of modern medicine, the survival rate of newborns at 35 weeks of pregnancy is higher. If a premature baby weighs more than 1 kg, the survival rate in a tertiary neonatal unit can reach 80-90%.
