I am having a high risk pregnancy, and am afraid I will end up delivering early. I am 29 almost 30 weeks and I was just wondering if she will be ok if I do go into labor.
I read that the survival rates for babys born at 24 weeks are pretty good right now. At 30 weeks, your baby would have a fair chance. Good Luck!

can anyone tell me what the odds of survival are for premature births in Cuba. Is the medical system that good do they have the technology and knowledge to deal with such cases?
I am talking 22 weeks
Is it normal practice for the doctors to stitch the cervix in order to halt delivery,would this happen in other countries.
Could previous cancer of the womb cause premature birth.
Yes, it is normal to stitch the cervix. Besides, the patient must be in absolute rest
About previous cancer of the uterus, unlikely to be seen in your women. Anyway, it rather would be cause for a cesarean section
The medical system is good. Big bad old fidel uses that as propaganda to tell the world how good is his system. Many foreigners that visit cuba leave with that impression, exactly what fidel wants
But after the collapse of the soviet union, the care in hospitals plummeted. A friend of mine told me that frequently they didn't have alcohol, cotton, and other medical supplies
just wondering thanks!
6 1/2 yrs ago I had my son @ 24 weeks...he weighed 1lb 10oz and was 12 in long....It was so scarey!!!, but he beat the odds and after 4 months in the hospital he came home on his original due date...he suffered some things, like respiratory symptoms and eye problems, he never had a brain bleed, thank GOD, but it was a rollercoater ride his first three yrs of life...everything cleard up on its own and now he is a healthy active, couldnt even tell he was preemie kinna kid...he has been diagnosed with a learning disability and hes is in a 1st grade special day class, but he is learning everything else a 1st grader would just at a slower pace....but I count my blessings as things could have been 100X worse, he could have died, or suffered severely from it...there was a 25 weeker, who was older and bigger than my son and he has since became blind, and is severly mentally handicapped...bless his heart, but he lived...so its a toss up when dealing with preemies...
I'm just wondering because I was born 2 months premature.
