Fetal survival rate at 28 weeks

At 28 weeks of pregnancy, there is more than a month left before the baby is born. Some pregnant women have premature babies, and their babies are born at 28 weeks of pregnancy. So, can a baby survive at 28 weeks of pregnancy? What are the common questions during 28 weeks of pregnancy? Next, I will explain these aspects in detail for everyone, and I hope it will be of some help to everyone.

Can a baby survive at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

Generally speaking, the most dangerous complication for premature babies is pulmonary hypoplasia, which causes respiratory distress syndrome, which is seriously life-threatening. Usually, the fetus's lungs cannot fully develop until after 34 weeks of pregnancy. However, with the improvement of current medical standards, premature babies born at 28 weeks may survive and need to be admitted to the neonatal ICU. In addition, there is a possibility of residual head complications.

What are the common questions about 28 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Strengthen exercise to help pregnant women give birth. Pregnant mothers who are already 28 weeks pregnant should make more preparations for childbirth. Doing more breathing exercises can be of great benefit to a successful delivery. Generally speaking, breathing exercises can be divided into shallow inhalation and deep inhalation. When practicing shallow breathing, you can sit on the floor, preferably with a wall behind you, then cross your legs behind you, straighten your waist, and breathe through your mouth. To practice deep breathing, the pregnant mother should sit on the floor in a comfortable posture, cross her legs behind her, straighten her waist, inhale deeply through her nose, and then exhale slowly, and repeat the exercise.

2. Always take care of your nipples. In the second half of pregnancy, you should use a damp towel to gently wipe the nipples more often, but never use soap or other alkaline detergents to clean the nipples, otherwise it will wash away the lubricating substances and oils naturally secreted on the nipples.

3. Check your weight. Why should you care so much about your weight? It is normal to gain weight during pregnancy, but don’t gain too much or too quickly. If you find that your weight has not increased, it is also abnormal! Therefore, starting from the 28th week, pregnant mothers should weigh themselves once a week. If any abnormal weight is found, they should contact their doctor for a check-up in time!

4. Reduce the sex life of couples. Can pregnant mothers and expectant fathers still be so confused at this stage? Because pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy should reduce AA, especially in the first 6 weeks before the due date, they should completely stop having sex to avoid premature birth.

5. Prepare the delivery bag for pregnant women in advance. Pregnant mothers who are in the late stage of pregnancy can start preparing the maternity bag in advance. The maternity bag is a thing similar to a jingle bag, which is filled with things that pregnant mothers need after giving birth, as well as the utensils for the newborn. Pregnant mothers must have this concept and prepare a maternity bag, so that no matter when the baby is about to come out, they can immediately pick up the bag and say, "Let's go to the hospital!"

The above is some of the content I have introduced in detail about whether the fetus can survive at 28 weeks of pregnancy. I hope it will be of some help to everyone. Overall, babies born at 28 weeks of pregnancy can survive, but the probability is low. Pregnant women who are 28 weeks pregnant should take good care of themselves, take good care of their bodies, and eat a nutritious and scientific diet.
