why a baby born in his seventh month could survive while another born after 8 months may die?

Answer 1

That is so sad... It just happens.. There are some people who are prepared to have children and are trying very hard but could not have one. On the other, there are also teens who would go out and "sleep together" for the 1st time and get pregnant.

My wife had a miscarriage 2 years ago. She wasn't really doing anything too much to stress herself. We were wondering why it happened. We know that some women in 3rd world countries are working physical labor and still gives birth to a healthy child.. We believe in God so we think that He has major plans for us. After more than a year, my wife was pregnant again and she gave birth to our son 6 months ago..

Bless you and the child.. I hope that closure can be found..

Answer 2

After the 26th week, a baby has a very good chance of survival if born prematurely, and this increases each week. Of course, this is only possible if the baby gets proper care in the hospital, and will usually stay in the NICU until the baby reaches the gestational age of 38-40 weeks. These babies may have health problems later in life, due to the organs not being able to fully form naturally. By the 34th week, the baby will survive with the proper care. There are still chances though, for learning disabilities. Not sure if this is just a curiousity for you, or if you are possibly experiencing some early labour symptoms? If so, please let your Dr. know right away - sometimes preterm labour can be slowed down through medications/bed rest.

Answer 3

If you've lost a child, you think that knowing why will make it better, but it doesn't. I know lots more about lymphoma than the average person, about blood and bone marrow transplants, but the pain persists even after the ignorance is gone.

Let the questions go. If you did everything you could, and you probably did; and the hospital did everything it could, and they probably did. My mother was a nurse, and 40 years later she could still remember the children who died when she was a student.

Answer 4

It all seems terribly unfair..whenever you lose a child. But typically it depends on the babies weight, development and lung maturity. Some babies are 33 weeks but because of IUGR (intrauterine growth retardation) they are very small and somethimes don't make it. While babies at 30 weeks, though tiny..manage to make it with medical support.

Answer 5

I think it depends on the child and the prenatal care sometimes...but not always. Each woman's own body works differently and I am sure that there is differences in how our bodies prepare the child. My son was born 5 days before his due date and had severe jaundice because his liver was under developed.

Answer 6

yes, it depends on the baby and their immune system adn what other problems may arise- some babies catch infections andd others don t, some babies live through them and others dont. i know this is sasd to say but sometimes it's better to let them pass than let them suffer- my friend had a baby at 23 weeks and 6 days and teh baby lived for 2 weeks- she finally took her off life support becausee the baby was suffering her andd she wanted her to live in peace with god

Answer 7

That's so sad. It all depends on the situation. But one thing I know for sure is preemie GIRLS do better than preemie boys. This is because the lungs are the last thing to mature on a boy, while on a girl they mature sooner. Lungs play a big part in how well a preemie does.

Answer 8

It depends upon whether or not the child has any infections or major underdevelopments; also depends upon the quality of medical care given to them.

Answer 9

it all depends on how far developed the baby is when born and what kind of technology the hospital has to help with premie babies.

Answer 10

It all depends on the circumstances. Complications arise, and sadly, babies don't make it. There are babies born at full term who sometimes don't survive.

It's very tragic.
