Please discuss: With the peri-natologist at the hospital where you will deliver any baby born before 37 weeks is considered premature and while premature babies usually end up ok it depends what week you deliver and there is never any gurantee the baby will be totally healthy.

Depends: 23-24 weeks is the earliest a baby can survive. Beyond that the answer depends on the baby and the expertise of the neonatal unit and doctors at the hospital.
