During pregnancy, expectant mothers hope that their unborn child can grow and develop healthily, and be born smoothly and safely. Even if there are problems during the process, they hope that the child can survive. Recently, a pregnant mother asked, if there are abnormalities at 4 months of pregnancy and the child is born at this time, can the child survive at 4 months of pregnancy?
When the fetus is four months pregnant, its various systems of development are immature, especially in terms of cardiovascular function. At this time, it is impossible to give birth to the child, and medically, a child born at four months is considered a miscarriage. If the pregnancy is too early, there is no chance of survival. If the child is born at 28 weeks but less than 37 weeks, it is considered a premature baby. However, due to advanced neonatal rescue equipment and measures, there is a certain possibility of survival.
Although premature infants have a certain chance of survival, the smaller the gestational age and lighter the weight (below 2500 grams) of the child at birth, the more likely it is to cause complications. Therefore, the possibility of surviving smoothly after birth will be smaller. Therefore, when there is a risk of premature birth, effective measures must be taken to protect the fetus, extend the gestational age appropriately, and wait for timely delivery to increase the chances of the child surviving.
When a child stays in the mother's body for 37 weeks, all organs of the child have basically matured, especially the development of heart and lung function. If born at this time, they can adapt to the external environment and survive without any problems. However, compared to a child who stays for 40 weeks, their respiratory and digestive functions may be relatively poor, and their brain and nerve development may not be as good. Therefore, it is better for women to wait until the child is fully full-term before giving birth.
