Can I give birth at seven months of pregnancy?

A few days ago, I was watching the TV series "Parents' Love", in which an actress said a line: "Seven months to live, eight months to die." It means that if a woman gives birth to a fetus in the seventh month of pregnancy, the fetus can survive, but if it is eight months, the fetus will not survive. With today's medical technology, is it possible to give birth after being pregnant for seven months? With the development of medical technology, it is not impossible to give birth if you must be pregnant for seven months, but you must provide good care.

1. Can a woman give birth after being pregnant for seven months?

You can give birth, but the baby is very small, at most three pounds, and it hasn't even grown a fingernail yet. It can only grow by absorbing nutrients in your body. You and your husband always quarrel. Can you take good care of the baby if it is born so early? Premature babies are difficult to take care of! I suggest you hold on and wait for the baby to come out on its own!

2. Care considerations for 7-month-old premature babies

1. Keep warm

Premature babies should pay special attention to keeping warm, the room temperature should be kept constant as much as possible, and the air should be kept fresh. In summer, the room temperature should not exceed 30℃, and curtains can be made around the crib to keep warm.

2. Feeding

Premature babies have poor digestive ability, so it is best to choose breast milk, which is easy to digest and absorb, so that they are less likely to develop diseases such as diarrhea and indigestion. In addition, premature babies have poor swallowing ability and often do not have the strength to breastfeed or even cannot breastfeed at all. If this is possible, you can express the breast milk into the bottle first, then steam it and feed it with the bottle. When using a bottle, be careful not to make the hole on the nipple too small, otherwise it will make it very difficult for the baby to suck milk.

3. Sleep

It is not suitable for premature babies to lie flat. It is best to choose the side-lying position, and they can alternate between the left and right sides. This will allow the baby's lungs on both sides to expand well, and the child's blood circulation can be improved by changing the position of the head. More importantly, babies are less likely to choke when lying on their side to suck milk, which can prevent vomit from being inhaled into the trachea and avoid aspiration pneumonia or suffocation.

4. Defecation

Newborns usually start to defecate 12 hours after birth, and the meconium will be very dark in color, appearing as a dark green or black sticky paste. Generally speaking, the meconium can be discharged completely after 3-4 days. After feeding, the baby's stool will gradually turn yellow. Babies who are fed with milk will have bowel movements 1-2 times a day, while babies who are breastfed will have bowel movements 4-5 times a day. If your baby has not defecated within 24 hours after birth, you should ask your doctor to check immediately to see if there is any problem with the baby's anus.
