has anyone had a premature baby around 26 weeks?

Q: my brother-in-law and his girlfriend just had there baby at barely 26 weeks gestation and i am just trying to understand this. I feel so bad for them but they are acting like everything is fine. They have been pretty naive the whole pregnancy and now im not sure they understand they have a long road ahead of them. I guess i just dont know what to say. I had my baby in march and she is completely healthy..she weighed over 10 pounds, i guess i just feel so bad that they are going through this and i couldnt imagine being in there situation but it is so weird how they arent even worried. I mean this isnt really a happy time is it? Does anyone know about the risks? The baby boy barely weighs 2 lbs. Is it still day to day? or as long as he is on the ventilator is everything going to be ok? I know he is in a good place and with all the medical advances everything should be ok…right? I guess i just feel for them.

A: This is so early that complications are very likely. It’s still day to day, but much earlier babies have survived and thrived. And like you mentioned, the medical advances give him a really good shot at being okay. I know that babies born at the 27th week have an 85% chance of survival, I’m not sure what it is at 26 weeks. I’ll send you a link on fetal development so you can see where this baby was at in his development. Good Luck to your whole family.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fetal-development/PR00113

A: C – I think it’s C because doctors try to get the baby to stay in the mom for as long as possible….the longer the baby stays in utero the better chance of being healthy and less risks it has in the world.
