Don't we have moms that have reached V day today?

December 1st moms are 24 weeks today, right? Congrats ladies on reaching viability!

rshamos · August 2014

Yeah congrats! I can't wait until this Saturday when i can join the club.

And in typical pregnant lady fashion I just burst in to tears when I realized that'll be me on Sunday! Whoo hoo!!

2bwritten · August 2014

Yup and thank you!

DH was born at 24 weeks...there's not a day that goes by that I'm not completely amazed by how far he's come and how much he has overcome!! Amazing stuff right there...

Edit: TB doesn't like smiley faces today...

Wait...I thought viability was 28 weeks. It's 24?! Much closer than I thought, which is great news. So ready to breathe that sigh of relief.

Oooooo I'm 24 weeks today and didn't even know it was V-day!!! How exciting!!

Thank you for making me feel good and confident! This Saturday is when I found out that I lost my first pregnancy (early miscarriage at 5.5 weeks), so this new milestone makes me feel so much better and helps to tell my brain to be quiet.

I feel like I've been doing so many countdowns with this pregnancy. 1) beta test after transfer 2) 1st ultrasound to see embryonic sac 3) twelve week U/S 4) 20 A/S 5) viability in less than three weeks. Congrats to all who made it to V-Day!

I'm still at 20w4d, but I can't wait to be at 24. 20w was a big deal for me b/c that's the point at which you can go straight to L&D if you have a problem instead of going to the ER first (at least at my hospital). We had a very, very bad experience in the ER last time, so 20w was a huge milestone. 24 will be even better!!!

Congrats to those who have made it all the way to 24!

JRod13 · August 2014

Congrats on V-day! I can't wait to join you

RayRay007 · August 2014

V-day for me today! I always thought it was a silly thing to really celebrate because the prognosis for a baby born at 24 weeks isn't that great, but I've been really afraid of PTL these past couple of weeks so it is somewhat reassuring to know that they would try to save these babies if they suddenly came today.

jennielee123 · August 2014

Congrats V-day ladies! can't wait to join the club!

ColeyCannoli · August 2014

OMGS! I just had today down as crappy glucose testing day. Thank goodness for you ladies reminding me that it is actually an awesome freaking day!!!

leoandethansmom · August 2014

I have officially hit V-Day!!! Congrats to all of us ladies!

Decemberbaby2014 · August 2014

I'm 24 weeks today! Feels great!

kimba1976 · August 2014

Look what I found. I am 23 weeks today. I had no idea the survival rates were so high this early on. In another month, most of us should be over 50%!!

Odds of a Premature Baby's Survival by Length of Pregnancy

Length of Pregnancy	Likelihood of Survival
23 weeks	17%
24 weeks	39%
25 weeks	50%
26 weeks	80%
27 weeks	90%
28-31 weeks	90-95%
32-33 weeks	95%
34+ weeks	Almost as likely as a full-term baby

I didn't even know about this but I'm 24 weeks today! Thank you and congratulations to all the other ladies as well! Sounds like a good reason to eat some cake.

I had to look up how many weeks I am. I'll be at v-day next week.

I just realized we have the same EDD. Next Tuesday FTV! (yes, I did type V instead of W.)

weezy29 · August 2014

I'll be 24 weeks on Friday but based in the March of Dimes chart, I'll be very relieved once I hit 28 weeks!!

abcmom12 · August 2014

after 24 weeks, 32/35 week (forget which) is the next big day because baby's lungs are developed enough to breath outside the womb

Congrats to the 24week ladies!

Cheekers2010 · August 2014

I can't wait to reach V day. Although I know there are no guarantees, it will make me feel so much better. Being due mid month is a bummer! Congrats ladies hitting this big milestone!

soulcupcake · August 2014

I'm not at risk for PTL. I've never really worried about delivering early, but I know some see 26+ weeks as having the highest chances of survival for those at risk for pPROM.

beachy6 · August 2014

Congratulations for all of you who are at V-day!! Who would have thought we'd start saying this already!? Time is now starting to fly!!!

Heorwig · August 2014

path75 · August 2014

aggiejenn37 · August 2014

Eora3 · August 2014

hollieandaaron2012 · August 2014

So happy! It is also cantaloupe week!

kwikwi8181 · August 2014

Wow. I had no idea I missed my own Vday! Happy to know it...although I have a heart felt conversation with my little one each day encouraging her to stay put as long as possible! LoL.
I pray for her to stay put, but am happy to know that she would have a chance if she came early. Congrats to all Vday mommies.... And to all our mommies! I'm Happy to continue to have an uneventful pregnancy.

ambuchick · August 2014

I hit the viability mark today! Yay

Jeark1004 · August 2014

I didn't realize what V-day was until I read this post! Still couple of weeks away but definitely something worth celebrating for the LO

AlleyMM · August 2014

Tomorrow for me!!!

Maere · August 2014

Not til next week, but looking forward to it!!

LeviJeans · August 2014

Wooo! I've been waiting for this milestone for sure. 3 more days!

Side note: every time I see the "v day" title of this thread come up, my mind automatically says "vagina day," which confused me. I thought I missed some sort of sexy time pact
