At 32 weeks, it is very likely that the baby would survive, however he or she may need to have a short stay in the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) to have some help with breathing and feeding
i had my second son at 27 weeks pregnant. He is now 17 and perfectly healthy. You would never have guessed he was premature.
That is very dependant on both the current health of the baby and the mother. I delivered four healthy babies at 33 +4 weeks, with no long term complication. From memory after 29 weeks there is a 90% survival rate.
With proper neonatal care, a baby born at 29 weeks has a good chance of living a healthy life. However, each case is different as per each baby's different circumstances, and usual results may not always be what happens in each case.
At this time a baby born at 18 weeks is still to premature to survive.
Babies born after 22 weeks have a great chance of surviving, the earliest baby to survive in the UK was 21 weeks. So nearly all baby's that are born at 31 weeks live, although there is that small percentage that don't but this is unlikely if the pregnancy has been fine and healthy all through the rest of the pregnancy. I had a baby girl and she was born at 31 weeks and is absolutely fine although she did only weigh 3oz 8. and had to stay in neonatal unit for 3 weeks (just to gain weight) I hope this answered you question thanks
The odds of that happening are one in a million
Absolutely! If a baby is born at just 38 weeks, its considered full term. A baby born at 37 weeks should be just fine! From about 26 weeks can a baby survive. I have already seen a baby who was born at 25 weeks and who has survived.
I think the earliest baby that ever survived was 21 weeks? But babies born early are very sick and do not survive a lot of the time. The earliest that is normal to have the baby is 37 weeks, which will be about 3 weeks before you due date. I had my last baby at 35 weeks and he was 6lbs 9oz and very healthy. It's dangerous to have it earlier than that because the lungs haven't developed enough for the baby to breathe on its own.
the baby has to to have a healthy diet so when it is born it can be strong and not weak or unhealthy.the baby has to be healthy to grow because its body need vitamins and proteins etc to stay healthy.
A baby born before 37 weeks gestation
If one parent is a carrier then the baby has a 50% chance of being born a carrier as well, but the baby will be healthy as the gene is recessive.
