What is the earliest a baby can be born and survive?

21 weeks and 5 days is the record.

20 to 35 percent of babies born at 23 weeks of gestation survive, 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive. 38+ week is considered full term.

Premature birth have higher rates of developmental delays and learning disabilities.

I am not sure

but am thankful you called the human being a "baby"

because the baby deserves our protection after

conception.

Abortion is flat out murder by the doctor and complicity by

the Mother.

i have seen as early as 29 weeks but a lot of complications though.

24 weeks is the most common age at which survival chances become good.

The two youngest children to survive premature birth were born at 21 weeks and 5 days, and 21 weeks and 6 days.

Current survival chances at 23 weeks are as much as 35%, and at 24 weeks at much as 70%.

ive heard of babies being born when the mom was 6 months pregnant and they survived
