At week 26, the fetus can survive outside the womb. That is at about 6 1/2 months. Anything before this, the lungs will not be developed enough to live. Even at 26 weeks the lungs are extremely premature. A substance called surfactant is usually given to the newborn which basically makes breathing easier.
