New York Times article about premature births: click here
A lady that I work with had her last child at 26 weeks into her pregnancy. Yikes! I know that the child has some health problems... don't know about learning disabilities, which are common with premature birth.
I'll be 15 weeks along as of tomorrow. That's not considered viable, were I to go into labor for some reason. I think that 23 weeks is the point of viability in the U.S. The youngest recorded premature birth where the baby has survived to adulthood is 21 weeks and 5 days... that was in Canada, though. So it doesn't count. (Just kidding.)
