Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Recent evidence suggests that infants born between 34 and 36 weeks gestation are, in fact, physiologically immature compared to term infants. Furthermore, given the potential for preeclampsia to disrupt mechanisms regulating fetal growth and development, a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder may allow us to develop strategies to prevent morbidities from fetal through adult life.
You consult see a physiotherapist and a pediatrician.
