A member asked:
When is the minimum time a premature child can survive after being delivered?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I assume you are asking minimum gestational age (length of pregnancy) for a prematurely born fetus can survive outside of womb. With some exceptions, 23 weeks of gestation seem to be the cut off. Even then, these extreme preemies require mechanical ventilation and artificial nutritional support for survival.
