Viable?

[Riot_Grrrl]

Hiya i woud just like to know when is your baby considered viable?. Don't know why i'm so interested all of a sudden i think i'm getting a bit morbid and thinking 'hmm what would happen if i was to give birth now?' Does any of you know at how many weeks was the eariest baby born and survived..and weights etc. thanx xx

24 weeks is considered viable! Which means your little man has passed that important stage now

Congrats on hitting 24 weeks! xx

funny i was thinking the same thing. dont think ill stop worrying this whole pregnancy, but im sure im just the same as everyone else.

I don't think the worry gets any easier I'm a huge worry worry anyway, so I've learned to just try to think that every new week I hit is a better chance of baby being ok.

viable like the others have said is 24 weeks... at 23 weeks the baby has a 16% chance of survival if born but at 24 weeks this jumps to 44% we are 24 weeks tomorrow & i cant wait! Then onto the midwife on monday to get my matb1 for work

I think the earliest someone has given birth to a child and the LO survived is 22 weeks. The baby was tiny weighing 10oz (?).

How weird, I've recently been thinking what would happen if I went into early labour now and wondering how big he would be etc. Very scary stuff, let's hope all our bubs stay in the oven for a while longer eh

Yeah the tickers on here make me feel better... they say things like "I'm nearly 2lbs in weight"
so it makes me feel better that bubs is gaining weight...
