premature babies

[new_mommy_to_be]

I was wondering what is the earliest a baby was born and survived that you've heard of or experienced?  Just curious

Also my friend had her little gIrl last year at 25 weeks.  She spent only 3 months in the NICU and just turned a year old a few Months back. Her mom got pregnant AGAIN right after she had her & just had that baby about a month or two ago & the new baby is almost the same size as the first born.. she is still really tiny but walks & everything.

I have a friend in her early 30s who was born at 24 weeks gestation. She had a hard fight and some seriously scary time in the hospital and as she grew up but she made it through. She's due with her own baby this summer.

I think I read somewhere a baby survived at 22 weeks,  but normally they dont even TRY to save them until 24 weeks.

A cousin of my friend had her baby at 23 weeks. She's been in the nicu for two months, but she's only been progressing!

A friend of mine had her baby at 7 months and she was surprisingly healthy didn't have to stay in the nicu at all or get oxygen or anything
