At What Week In Pregnancy Can A Baby Survive Outside The Womb?
The earliest a baby has been born and survived is 21 weeks and 5 days. Two premature babies hold the record for this. However, this is well before the accepted age of viability. Usually, the earliest a baby can survive is about 22 weeks gestation. The age of viability is 24 weeks.
