Hi
I have a very healthy 5yr
Born at 24wks and 3days. 1lb9oz, she was in hospital for 5months.
Most babies born after 28wks have lungs strong enough to not require a ventilator! Your little has a good chance of survival
Good luck

I'm about to go again the contractions are still hurting. They said no signs of premature labor other than the contractions they gave me fluids saying it could be dehydration but it didn't help

After 29 weeks she should be viable;(most are after 24 weeks). Will spend a few weeks in the nicu but should be fine. They should have admitted you to stop labor! I'd be going to a different hospital!
