Hey - My bub was born at 28.6 weeks and when I was in labour at this age they gave her 98% chance of survival. She was in hospital for 2 months and is now thriving (have a look at my www. for pics of when she was just born and now if you like).
34 weeks, although still scary is actually not too bad and I'm sure that with the great medical care there is, that your friend will be in great hands!
