Viability Day that is.
I am officially 24 weeks pregnant, which is a pretty big milestone. If something were to happen and I needed to deliver, doctors would now try to save him, as he now has a better chance of surviving outside the womb than not surviving.
According to data years 2003-2005, 20 to 35 percent of babies born at 23 weeks of gestation survive, while 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks, and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks, survive. Scary but true statistics!
I'd much rather have him stay in there for another 16ish weeks or so though!
My weekly update will come later, I just wanted to highlight this milestone. I can't believe how fast time is flying, I'm almost to the 3rd Trimester already... eek!
