What would occur if the baby was delivered at 33 weeks?

By 33 or 34 weeks, premature newborns are almost fully formed. Their nails reach the tips of their fingers, their bones are fully developed, and in boys, the testicles are descending into the scrotum. Most premature newborns will have relatively brief stays in the NICU at 33 and 34 weeks with only a few issues.

How long are infants that are born at 33 weeks in the NICU?

Preemies who are born before 34 weeks of pregnancy should stay in the NICU for a few weeks. Preemies should typically remain in the NICU until three to four weeks before their expected due date, according to medical advice.
