Question
What is the survival rate of a 30-week preemie? My child was delivered via cesarean section at 30 weeks due to low amniotic fluid. Previous treatment and outcomes: pregnancy-induced hypertension, treatment administered. Desired assistance: Can we get this child, and approximately how much money will it cost?
Answer
Current advancements in premature birth treatment have been significant, and as long as the child does not have complications such as long-term use of a ventilator or recurrent seizures leading to brain development issues, parents should maintain enough confidence in caring for their child. Preemies may affect a child’s growth and intellectual development, and parents need to be mentally prepared for this.
