ANSWER:

This is a million dollar question. From doing extensive research I have found the most accurate list of estimated survival rates:

Prematurity

Advances in medical care have made it possible for many infants born prematurely to survive and develop normally. The earlier the gestational age, the greater the chance of death or significant medical problems. Whether or not a premature infant will survive is intimately tied to his or her gestational age:

21 weeks or less: 0 percent survival rate

22 weeks: 0-10 percent survival rate

23 weeks: 10-35 percent survival rate

24 weeks: 40-70 percent survival rate

25 weeks: 50-80 percent survival rate

26 weeks: 80-90 percent survival rate

27 weeks: greater than 90 percent survival rate

But these are just statistics, with the right equipment and the proper care, anything is possible.

ANSWER

Chances can be ok. My niece delivered a baby at 18 weeks. He is now 6 months old and doing GREAT. It takes patience and good doctoring and a lot of time in ICU. You of course want the baby to stay in the womb as long as possible. We beat the odds, anyone can now a days. Little Jake weighted when born 11 0z. so it can be done and he now weights a whopping 14 pounds.

God bless you and keep the faith- do what ever the doctors tell you to do.

ANSWER

Zero, there is no physical way (as far as technology takes us at this stage). And there is no way that an 18 week old fetus would survive, this would be the story of the century around the world.

a fetus can medically survive from 24 weeks, so theorectically can survivve then on, so at 31 weeks would stand a better chance than a 24 week fetus, however this does depend on the circumstances surronding the birth, mothers medical history and wellness of the baby, no one will give 100% survival rate even to a full term baby.


What is the survival rate of a fetus born in 30th weeks?

Over 90% survival rate for a fetus born at 30 weeks, and each extra week in the womb adds to the survival rate, and the overall development of the fetus. There is always the risk of problems with a premie, but with today's advanced technology, care, and success stories long- term disabilities are very low risk, but still possible; it all depends on he fetus's development, and maturity. Every pregnancy, and fetus is different.
