The youngest a baby is viable from is
really about 23 weeks. And even then
their odds are very small. Every week
counts when they're that young.
The longest they'll let you go over your
due date nowadays is about 2 weeks. So
you would be about 42 weeks and if you
haven't gone in to labor on your own they
will induce you at that point.
I went in to labor naturally at 39 weeks.

Theres not a way to make that baby come
any faster other than medical
intervention. There are old wives tales
like drinking castor oil or having lots of
sex but there havent been any studies to
prove it. I had a nice doctor and she
agreed to induce labor like 6 days b4 my
due date but only cuz my cervix was
already opening a lil and it ended in a
c-section ne ways.

Yes, babies born at 24 weeks can survive
with todays technology. Unfortunately,
many of them have severe mental
developmental delays such as varying
levels of retardation. Our medical
science has come such a long way in saving
these babies, but a baby that cannot live
without such drastic medical intervention
is against god's will. If they were
meant to survive, they would do it without
the docs.

that's absolutely ridiculous and offensive
and contradictory.
You're probably anti-abortion too right?
Because you view the fetus as a life?
But yet miscarriage and premature labor
are god's will? Whatever happened to
killing a life? The fetus is a fetus
when a girl thinks about aborting but it's
not a fetus when the cervix opens
prematurely and it's born?
Please. Everyone needs medical
intervention at some point.
Have you ever taken a pain medication for
something? An aspirin? A tylenol? I
hope not. Those pills came from medical
science and are interfering with god's
will that you be in pain.
I hope you've never been to the dentist.
They're medically trained and dental care
comes from science. If your teeth rot
away, that's obviously god's will because
otherwise he'd keep your teeth strong
without brushing or medical care from a
dentist. Got any fillings? Crowns?
Bridges? Ever had braces? Hope not. Or
else you've sinned and will go to hell.
I hope you've never had an operation,
because if anything happened to your body
it's obviously god's will and having an
operation to fix it is against his will
that you suffer and possibly die.
I hope you never have taken a vitamin to
be healthier, those come from medical
science too. If your body is anemic or
lacking in vitamins then that must be
god's will and the medically invented
vitamins are against his will.
I hope none of your family has ever done
any of these things because then they
would be commiting a sin and going against
god and go to hell for it.
See how ridiculous your logic is? Get
lost.

im not totally against what you said
...But I am against abortion in some
ways...Like when a girl can lay down and
have sex but then when she finds out she
is pregnant...Runs to have an abortion
...With no reason other than ...Oh I want
to go to college ..Im scared blah blah
blah..That is wrong in my eyes...
The only time I think abortion is "right"
rape
mother at risk of life
baby at risk of life...
I've had a debate for over 3 days now with
a girl over pro-choice, pro-life...And it
was pointless ...Leslie has her opinions
of things and so do you ...So just because
her's arent the same as yours ...Doesnt
make you the better person..Or give you
the right to be a jerk ...Sorry if this
makes you mad ...But everyone has the
right to their own opinion and they all
should be respected...

i respect her right to her opinion. I
don't respect her coming to a post like
this and posting that sh*t. This isn't an
abortion debate. It isn't warrented for
her to cram her beliefs down everyone's
throat. Especially in such a ridiculous
manner. If she even said "i'm pro-life.
I think abortion is wrong." I wouldn't
reply but to say that miscarriage is god's
way or that people trying to save the
lives of infants born prematurely is
against god is offensive and
ridiculous...Even to those of us who
aren't christian. I hope to god there's
no mother on here that's lost a child to
prematurity because what she basically
said was "ha ha your baby died and it was
god's way! Your baby was an abomination
against god! Good thing the little sinful
creature died!!! God is happy again now!"
that irritates me.

There is not a woman who is more
pro-choice than I am. I am a medical
professional (pharmacist) and I have seen
the end result of a baby born too early
with the .S.E.V.E.R.E developmental
delays. All I was trying to say is that
sometimes the end result of medical
intervention is devastating. Technology
has come a long way, but we don't always
think of the consequenses of those
actions...That is all I meant.
Please stop ranting about me being
anti-abortion, thank-you. In the states,
you have a government that wants to ban
abortion, and I think that is absolutely
disgusting...It would be like erasing the
past 30 years of women's liberation.
Every woman has the right to make that
decision for herself.
If you had of actually read what I wrote
rather than skimmed it, I think you would
have had a better understanding of what I
meant.
And for your info, I am 12 weeks pregnant,
and we want this child more than anything
in the world. However, if at 24 weeks,
this baby was born, I would not want the
doctors to intervene. The life sentence
of mental retardation would be unfair to
my baby. We just hope that nothing like
this happens, because it would be
devastating.

And by the way, a miscarriage is nature's
way of taking care of a pregnancy that was
never viable to start with. And I never
said that there was anything wrong with
stopping premature labor. Holy crap you
read soooooooo much more into my post than
I was actually saying. And I think you
pulled it out of your head somewhere, cuz
it was nowhere in my post.

i read what you wrote. It seems you
forgot, let me remind you a baby that
cannot live without such drastic medical
intervention is against god's will. If
they were meant to survive, they would do
it without the docs. there's really
no two ways to interpret that. "monkeys
are bad". You can't interpret that as
anything other then what it is. Just like
you can't interpret "babies who can't
survive on their own at 24 weeks are
against god's will" as anything other then
what it is.
Just because you don't want to put up with
having a child with delays doesn't mean
that everyone else thinks the same way.
Sure, nobody plans to have a child with
delays but I think it's ridiculous and
selfish to cut a child off life saving
techology just because you didn't get the
perfect baby you planned for. There's
nothing to say these children don't have
feelings and wants just like you or me or
anybody else. Why shouldn't they have a
crack at life too?

To hunterjumper:
so are you prolife or pro choice cuz y is
it that if a baby is born early they
deserve a crack at life but a baby who has
just been concieved doesnt? Just wonderin
cuz personally I think if u willingl had
sex and got knocked up then there shouldnt
be an easy way out. I live in the states
and agree with my government on banning
choice abortion other than medical/health
reasons or rape.

Wow!
It looks like people got a little off
track in replying to your question.
The first response was pretty accurate -
as far as making delivery faster, i'm a
strong supporter of natural childbirth.
I had five babies, full-term - and thank
god all five are healthy. I don't think
the process can be sped up - other than
the injection your doctor can give you to
start labor.
My personal experience was great! The
pain was not so bad that I needed drugs to
control it. But i've heard other women
experience pain beyond their ability to
endure. I think it has a lot to do with
your build and pain tolerance. To make
the delivery faster or possibly easier,
get plenty of exercise - not too strenous
- and eat a healthy diet.
Do the research to find out how different
pain killers may affect your baby before
deciding what to use. My best advice:
read, read, read every reliable bit of
information you can get your hands on!
Good luck!!

being for children who are born early
doesn't mean you have to be anti-choice.
90% of abortions are performed in the
first trimester. And of those 80% are
performed at 8 weeks or less. Therefor,
comparing aborting a 5 or 6 week fetus
that was not wanted in the first place to
a woman who wanted her baby, took all
responsible steps to ensure a healthy
pregnancy adn went in to pre-term labor
and delivered a preemie is ridiculous.
They are not the same.
My stance is irrelevant to the arguement.

Well I dont think they are different
babies have a heart beat at 18 days old so
thats less then 3 weeks to your under 8
under weeks defense.

and? It still doesn't compare to a 24
week wanted child. People don't generally
plan to go into labor early. People
choose to have abortions.
An orange and a basketball are both round
and both orange. That doesn't mean
they're the same thing just because they
look alike or have some of the same
features.

Anyway---to answer your question I dont
know much about premature but I know the
longest theyll let you go is 42 weeks then
they will induce.
I had my daughter at 38 1/2 weeks. I
drank casteroil...Lol...And she came the
next day! But who knows what really
brought the labor on. Good luck!

i know its been a couple of days since
someone has post on here but I have
something else to say about this...
You say that our "logic " is ridiculous
..But from our point of view yours
is...Because for one this isnt debate
...This is a place for support..If you
want to debate about abortion...Go to
abortion debate...Anyways..Your example of
the dentist..Surgery...Stuff like that is
really stupid..Because abortion is killing
..Its homicide alot different than someone
getting help for something that has gone
wrong with them...Yeah god had that as a
plan for that person to have that problem
..But he also made
science/scientist...Which were people that
he put onto this earth in which to help
those people in need...Make new
inventions..Im not totally against
abortion...Because I think abortion is
right when rape/mom is at risk of life/
baby at risk of life..But I dont find
abortion being right when girls are like
omg it will give me stretch marks or oh I
am to young...Because if you can lay in
bed and receive sex then you can receive
the consquences...And yes god has his plan
for everyone..And those who get abortion
will only live regreting what they have
done...And I can prove that by going into
the abortion forum..And reading stories
about girls who *wish* they could have
their babies back...So not only is
abortion wrong it causes life long
problem...Seems to me like abortion causes
more problems to a person than would have
the baby if they would have just grew up
and gave that baby a life like it
deserves...
