Those little feet are just soooo cute :D 18weeks early is just madness the baby is only just half cooked and she survived :)

[Morba]

to think that could have been aborted :/

[Lomster]

They've changed the cut off point to abortions now cos of the amount of prem babies surviving over 24weeks, it used to be up to 24weeks years ago. :/

My cousin's son was 12 weeks early. He was tiny and very poorly and is now 5 and only just come of antibiotics and is just small (2/3 years clothes) mad how strong babies and children are to fight their way through illnesses.

[Morba]

it still is 24 weeks isnt it?

[Pebs]

24 weeks if you have a medical reason, or it used to be.

[Lomster]

I think its 24 weeks for medical reasons like Pebs said but up to 18-19 weeks normally.
