I think the current max is 24 weeks, but there are discussions going on to drop that to 22 weeks.

At eight weeks gestation, this fetus is able to kick and straighten his legs, turn them round and move his arms up and down.
At ten weeks gestation, this fetus can move her arms and legs with a range of movements that are fluid and supple
At 22 weeks gestation babies are capable of fine hand and finger movements. In a short space of time this baby scratches, rubs and pats his cheek before doing the same to his nose.
From about 24 weeks of pregnancy when retinal development is complete, babies open and close their eyes intermittently. This helps a baby to perfect the blinking reflex, which will protect his eyes once he's born.
Babies produce a motion approximating to yawning from as early as 12 weeks' pregnancy. Maybe this is nature's way of ensuring that as soon as she enters the world, she'll be able to take her first breath
Look at the pictures on the website where I get this information from. Is this something that you want to consider. Why cant you just let someone adopt your baby that will love and take care of the baby. There is nothing wrong with saying I am not ready to take care of my baby and then you can let a family take care of your baby just as if the baby was their own.
In all that mental turmoil, it can be easy to forget what being pregnant really means; you aren't just "going to have a baby" - you already have a baby. Right now, at this minute, there is a little human life growing inside you. You have a son or daughter. Good Luck and God Bless you and your baby

Not really sure think its 20 weeks, but its best before 12 weeks as there is less risk. The tablet form is only up till 9 weeks, the general anaesthetic they prefer before 12 weeks. Think its only really 20 weeks if someone wants to carry full term and if there is a problem wth baby then they usually prefer to abort baby.

Its 24 weeks. But at 24 weeks your baby could now be told weather its a boy or a girl. The baby has fingers/toes and ears. Even finger nails. If you want more infomation speak to a health visitor or your GP.

Hi Sarah, not sure how old you are but I've had a look at other questions you have posted recently and I think you should have a chat with a counsellor to get some guidance and clarity.
