I just read this on babyzone.com --- for Week 23
"This week marks an important milestone?if Baby were born this week, she would have a chance at survival. According to the March of Dimes, of all babies born at 23 weeks, 25 to 35 percent survive. This number goes up considerably when you add just a couple weeks: roughly 50 to 70 percent of all babies born at 24 to 25 weeks survive. And 90 percent of all babies born at 26 to 27 weeks survive."
Re: Week 23 V-day week????
Pretty sure it's 24 weeks.
Just goes to show you, you can't believe everything you read on the internet.
Well it's a much higher chance at 24...but I think March of Dimes is a pretty reliable source? - i did check their website, they have the same info.
My pregnancy book says that it's UK law that any loss before 24 weeks is a miscarriage and a loss after that is a stillbirth.
I've only heard 24 weeks before.

Fair enough point mam.
For me personally, I just do very well with small goals. This was my first major one for both my MFM and myself. Of course as close to full term as possible is my ultimate goal.
