words that irk me

Geez, what do you know we finally agree on something. 3 months you're fairly safe but the fetus can die at anytime right up till birth (still born) and sadly the mother and child can die as well. You're also right about a miscarriage and the woman doesn't know they were actually pregnant.
My English cousin had three children. Her first was a son and was a 7 month preemie and never lost the hospital and died at 3 months. Her next two daughters were both 7 month preemies as well but survived. The second daughter is now 7 months and doing very well so far anyway. Just hope for the best and hope that history doesn't repeat itself.

i betcha we agree on a lot more then we realize, we just tend to interpret those things different

7 months, lessee, that is 28 weeks
she should be "in the clear"

if i remember correctly, the bottom for neonatal resuscitation is 27 weeks (meaning if a child is born with a gestation age of less then 27 weeks the doctors will not try to revive him or her if they get in trouble)

of course, im citing US guidelines, you guys may do thing differently over there



my sister had really tough pregnancies too, both premees, but you couldnt tell now that they are 7 and 9
