Is it possible?

[Luhweez]

For a baby to survive if they are born 4 months early? A girl i know was telling me her brother was born 4 months early and could fit in her dads hand, and he's alive and in full health, is this possible? it just seems abit unbelievable to me

they say babys are viable from 24 weeks. although this doesnt mean there wont be any complications....some one i no her baby survived at 22 weeks xx

In principle, the longer in the womb the better but my cousin's son was born at 22 weeks and is now a teenager. Every situation is different and it will all depend on what's been done and what can be done early to help the baby's chances...

Good luck and hopefully - all will go well...

My friend who is a MW says they have to do everything they can to save a baby from 24weeks on I think (or was it 26??) under that it is considering unlikely i think. So yes i bet its true x

My fiance was born at 24 weeks & he is perfectly healthy.

There's just more risks at that stage, so it depends what condition the baby is in, if anything can be done. Etc.
