Should I expect my 5 wks premature baby to meet milestones?

Would she meet them at the right time or will she be a month behind when it comes to cooing, laughing, etc? Just curious..
That's what I meant.. if being premature is going to put her behind at all? 5 wks isn't a huge difference, but I wonder if some things may take a little longer.
 
My son was born at 35 weeks gestation.
My health visitor told me that they will expect him to do things by his adjusted age (age from due date) rather than his actual age.
They may do things at the same time as other babies...or it may take a bit longer... my sons first and latest milestone is smiling he didnt do it until nearly 9 weeks...a bit longer than most babies but not by much.

They say that by one year, they will have caught up completely.
