Can a baby survive before 24 weeks?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
23-24 weeks earliest: The exact gestational age at which a baby can survive depends a little but on the hospital. Most consider 23-24 weeks to be the earliest gestational age when a baby can survive.

Yes: Babies born between 23 and 24 weeks can survive. If they do survive they have complications with bleeding into the brain, infections, breathing problems.
