What is the earliest a baby could be born?

Answer 1

A term pregnancy is between 37 and 42 weeks form the start of the last period, that is 35-40 weeks from conception. The earlier a baby is born before this the more dangerous it is. Most babies born after 28 weeks will be ok but before that it gets a more problematical.

The youngest baby EVER to survive was around 22 weeks and 6 days, but I don't know how healthy she is.

The other variable is the health of the mother and baby before the birth. My Daughter had twin boys at 25 weeks, They were 1 lb 9oz and 1 lb 5oz. They were in the nicu for 3 months. They are now 8 months old and weigh 16 and 14 pounds. Myself and my husband now have custody of them. They are devolopmentally behind but are on time for their actual due date, they have acid reflux and have to take medicine for it. Because of the NICU experience my daughter never bonded with them. I just wanted you to see the leaps and bounds that the medical field is making in helping babies to make it. BTW, these are really GOOD babies and they are our pride and joy.

Answer 2

I started to get contractions at about 130am. and at 330am i went to the hospital cause they were 5 min apart. around 930am i was 3 and 1/2 cm and they gave me an epidural. i took a nap until 2pm. When i woke up i was 6 cm. they checked me again at 3pm and i was 9 and 1/2 cm. my daughter was born at 3:49pm. Typically your first child will take anywhere from 10-20 hours. its not uncommon for it to take longer. but rare for it to be shorter. hope this helps.

BTW. everyone is different.

Answer 3

well at least a week ahead of the due date since you need time to induce labor for the woman

Answer 5
