How many weeks is the earliest you can safely give birth?In: Labor and Birth |
[Edit] |
Taking care of yourself with baby on the way.
Answer
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.
I hope this helps.
Answer
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.
