What are the risks of a baby being born at 33 weeks?

From experiences and medical perspectives, please! My sister just went into early labor, obviously premature...anyone know about neurological risks etc?

Thanks so much, serious and knowledgeable answers only, please.

    Neurological won't be as bad as the physical risks. At that age they're lungs are not fully developed. I went into early labor at 32 weeks. The doc stopped it, which chances are your sis will have the same done unless she has preclampsia or twins or some other problem.

    The doctors told me that.
