99% SURVIVAL

At this stage, the fetus begins to turn its head downward in preparation for birth position.
The survival rate at 34 weeks is about 99 percent.
Some babies born at this stage will require intensive care; only a few will have permanent disabilities.
A few babies born at 34 weeks will be able to leave the hospital with their mothers without intensive care services.
The ears begin to hold shape.
The eyes open during alert times and close during sleep.
The skin is now smooth.
The foetus is 12 inches long and weighs 4 – 1/2 pounds.
