What are my babys chances?
- At 22-23 weeks about 24 per cent of babies survive.
- At 24 weeks, the figure rises to 31 per cent
- By 25 weeks the survival rates are 50 per cent
- From 32 weeks onwards, most babies are able to survive with the help of medical
technology
The further you are into your pregnancy, the better your babys chances will be,
which is why attempts are usually made to stop labour. Your body is the best possible
incubator for your baby.
