Premature babies have very weak bodies, and many children cannot even breastfeed themselves, so they can only rely on nasogastric feeding for nutrition. The biggest concern for parents of premature babies is that their babies cannot survive. In terms of the survival rate of premature infants, the closer the baby is to full-term, the higher the survival rate. So, how many months does premature birth usually last?
Because modern medicine is relatively advanced and women receive sufficient nutrition during pregnancy, the survival rate of premature infants has greatly improved. In data statistics, if there is good medical support and proper feeding, premature babies born at 25 weeks can have a 50% survival rate. As premature babies under six months old, a 50% survival rate is already very high. At 26 weeks, the survival rate of premature infants increases to 80%, although it is only one week more than at 25 weeks, the survival rate has increased by 30%. At 27 weeks, the survival rate of premature infants can reach 90%.
When pregnancy reaches 28 weeks or more, the survival rate of premature infants is 95%. At 34 weeks of pregnancy, the survival rate of premature infants is the same as that of normal children. The earliest surviving premature infants in the world are born at 21 weeks and 5 days. Whether premature infants can survive is closely related to the level of medical care. If premature infants can receive high-end medical support, their survival rate will be greatly improved.
