Question

This picture says that at 18 weeks the baby has 50% chance of survival. Is this correct?

Answer

No that's not right at all. I've never even heard of one baby at 18 weeks surviving let alone 50%

Answer

Nope. Youngest living premie is 21+5

Answer

I thought it was around 24 weeks also...

Answer

No most doctors don't consider baby viable until 23 weeks and won't give medical treatment until, and some 24 and even then it's a very tough road (I've had two 25weekers).

Answer

I don't believe so but I'm not a doctor so I couldn't be 100% sure

Answer

No that's a bit too early. I've been told 24 weeks but keep in mind it also depends on the weight of baby. So even if you are 24 weeks but your baby doesn't way much he or she has a slimmer chance

Answer

No that's not right. Viability is considered week 24, and even then it's only about a 50% chance of survival. Some doctor's will not even give babies born before the viability date medical intervention.

Answer

Delivery at 18 weeks is considered a miscarriage. Most doctors don't consider a delivery viable until at least 24 weeks

Answer

No. Viability is considered 24 weeks, and even then the percentage is not as high as 50%

Answer

No. I believe the current viability week is 23
