At this time a baby born at 18 weeks is still to premature to survive.
No its unlikely.
Yes, a baby has a chance at surviving at 28 weeks gestation.
I think the youngest ever born was around 24 weeks
Yes 37 weeks is considered full term
i had my second son at 27 weeks pregnant. He is now 17 and perfectly healthy. You would never have guessed he was premature.
Most babies born before 24 weeks of gestation do not survive. However, this article is about a baby born after only 21 weeks (153 days) who did survive: http://www.nysun.com/national/youngest-premature-babys-survival-called-a-miracle/49036/
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
it is bout 36 or so weeks Cynthia: It takes 40 weeks but most girls have their baby two weeks early or two weeks later than their due date.
yes. or it wont even be born ( the baby is a vampire so technically it does survive)
Although all the baby's organs are formed it is not yet fully developed or mature enough for an independent existence. If it survives it will need specialist care in a neo-natal unit for many weeks and may have developmental problems. Only a small percentage of babies born at 24 weeks 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
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.
