Two days ago, my scaning report showed some complications. The weight is 1000 gms. The doctor said that a c- section is expected any moment. Could anyone tell me the chance of surviv al of a 1000 gm fetus ?
Pls comeup with honest answers. Tks in advance.

It's not really a matter of how big your baby is, bigger babies can have problems too. The doctor needs to make sure the babies lungs are developed enough for him/her to breathe. Usually they will give you steroids to build up the baby's lungs and test the fluid to be sure it's working before they deliver you. Your baby will be about month and half early and most survive as long as there are no other complications with the baby's heart or lungs. If there are your baby will be sent to the nicu (neonatal unit) at your hospital or to one that does so your child will get the care it needs.

The baby weighs around 2 pounds. Do you have growth restriction or something similar? A 32 weeker is better then it could be. The baby is going to be in life support for the first month or so, so expect that. Also, because of the ventilator, some babies have problems with their brains, and eyes. Usually, with this old of a fetus, there are less problems. My best advice is to find out what hospital your baby will be at and then see if you can talk to the neonatologist there that will be working with your baby. Ask them to explain complications to expect and find out what treatment they are planning to use. Also, talk to your doctor about what they expect for complications and about what condition they think the baby will be in. They are the best ones to ask, because they are the ones who have done the tests and all.
We had a 36 weeker with growth restriction. She weighed 3 lbs, 3 oz when she was born. She was in the hospital for almost a month. She was on a ventilator for just a little over a day, so she was very lucky.
Good luck!! I hope things go well for you!!!

obstetric ultrasound becomes increasingly accurate the later you get in pregnancy, but as an approximation it is about 20% either way. Its a fair difference but don't worry about the weight per se - just steel yourself for a difficult few months with a great chance that your baby will survive the ordeal. Baby's lungs are not supposed to be developed that early in a pregnancy - it wasn't expecting to be born! One of the most important thing it lacks is a slippery chemical called surfactant that provides surface tension to the lungs and keeps them from getting too 'sticky' when the baby breaths

I'm sorry but I don't know how Kg convert into Lbs. but at 32 weeks there is still a good chance of a baby surviving. Esp. girls, I don't know why that is but girl preemies have better chances than boys. But still, at 32 weeks regardless of the gender there is a really good chance for survival. Good Luck and God Bless

The baby has a good chance of survival. My best friend had to have her baby only 26 weeks, because of health complications. The babies lungs had not even developed yet or his eye sight. They doctors can do a lot of things to help a premature baby survive. Good luck!

I found a chart for you at a health journal where they did several studies, according to the chart almost all the babies born with the birth weight of at least 1000gms lived, Not all but most, There is always a risk but your chances look good for you and the baby. I wish you the Best of Luck and Congrats on your baby!
Here is the link for the chart if you would like to see for your self...

That's about 2 pounds correct?
My daughter is 33years old and she weighed less than that and was born at 31 weeks. She did have to be in intensive care for a week but after that she was fine. She's 4' 11" and about 105 pounds of spit and fire today!
Good luck I will pray for you and your child!!!!

To be honest w/ you, your baby only weighs about 2 pounds 4 oz. The doctor will not release your baby from the NICU until he/she is at least 4 pounds and eating on his/her own. I wish you luck and send prayers your way!

how many lbs is that? and its not only the weight. it has to do with how long the baby has had to develop and 32 weeks is risky. why don you look it up online? research: risks of having a baby at 32 weeks or complications with babies born at 32 weeks.
