Well, I didn't carry to term. I went into preterm labor. I had a miscarriage in my history. I had a baby girl 2 weeks ago. I have been through a lot. I'm not her I guess legal mom so I guess that's why I'm curious. I am not in contact with the hospital that took her in or any of that. I'm just her birthmother... Which I gave no information so there is no information I know about her I'm just curious what is the chance of survival. This question is eating at me. I couldn't keep her so the hospital has a policy of safe drop offs for newborns or whatever. This was certainly not the way I wanted things to go. But that's how they've gone. I'm just worried if she's ok really. Like what are the statistics of survival at 24 weeks? Can technology work miracles? Anyone have links on the survival rate at 24 weeks?

Yes technology can work miracles but more importantly-God can work miracles. My daughter was born at 25 weeks and weighed one pound ten ounces. She's now 3 years old and is a beautiful, walking, talking, seeing, hearing, playing, everything the Dr's said she wouldn't do MIRACLE! I'm so sorry that you had to make the decision to give her up and for what ever led you to that, God can also work a miracle in you too, he did with me. Keep your head up and know He's with you no matter what.

I think the survival rate is somewhere around 65%. I had a baby born at 24 weeks almost a year ago. It is definitely not an easy road, but she is doing well. Your baby has a good change of survival. I hope that she has someone there for her. Human touch is essential for preemie survival.
