Patient's question:
I heard that premature babies at seven months can survive, but those at eight months cannot. Is that true? Can you explain the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you mentioned, a child born at 37 weeks of pregnancy is a full-term newborn, with relatively well-developed functions in all aspects. Children born between 28 and 37 weeks are premature infants, with immature organ functions. At 6.5 months of gestation, the development of various functions is even less complete. Therefore, the possibility of survival is not high, but it also depends on the specific situation. If the child has respiratory function after birth, coupled with appropriate care, it may still survive. It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice, as the doctor considers the overall situation.
