Graham's Foundation empowers and supports parents of premature babies and NICU families through peer mentoring, care packages for mom, and educational resources. Our Story We Are Graham's You found Graham’s Foundation because you or someone you care about is facing the uncertainty of premature birth. I know that roller coaster. My twins, Graham and Reece, were born fifteen weeks premature on Thanksgiving Day in 2006. We lost Graham after forty-five days, and Reece spent four months in the hospital before finally coming home. I know that bringing a premature baby home can present an entirely new set of challenges, and only time can tell what adversity our preemies may face. I created Graham’s Foundation to help educate and inform preemie parents so they feel empowered and confident while they navigate the journey of prematurity. We at Graham’s Foundation are committed to a world where no parent goes through the experience of prematurity alone. Life’s true measure is not the days lived but the lives touched. ~ Nicholas Hall, Father of Graham & Reece Founder & President GrahamsFoundation Nick Hall Shares His Story and His Song - Graham's Foundation: Supporting Parents of Preemies Play Video Our Mission Our mission is to inform and guide parents of preemies so that they may confidently navigate the journey of prematurity.

This guide explains when a baby is considered premature, how early a baby can survive outside the womb. < Back How Early Can a Baby Be Born and Live? This guide explains when a baby is considered premature, how early a baby can survive outside the womb. Listen To The Article Welcoming a baby is a moment filled with excitement, love, and anticipation. But when your little one arrives sooner than expected, that joy can be mixed with fear and uncertainty—especially if you’re wondering how early can a baby be born and live . Thanks to incredible advances in neonatal medicine, a baby can survive at 28 weeks. Babies can be born as early as 22 to 23 weeks and survive with intensive medical care. Still, every extra day in the womb can make a significant difference in survival rates and long-term health outcomes. If you or someone you love is facing a premature birth, you’re not alone. This guide will walk you through when a baby is considered premature, how early a baby can be born , and what to expect in those first critical days in the NICU. When Is a Baby Considered Premature? A baby is considered premature (or preterm) when born before 37 weeks of pregnancy . There are different classifications based on how early the baby arrives: Late preterm: 34 to 36 weeks Moderately preterm: 32 to 34 weeks Very preterm: Less than 32 weeks Extremely preterm: Less than 28 weeks Premature babies often need specialized medical care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), especially if born before 32 weeks. How Early Can a Premature Baby Survive? Medical advances now make survival possible for babies born as early as 22 weeks , though 23 weeks is generally considered the threshold. Survival rates improve significantly with each additional week of gestation: 23 weeks: 20–35% survival rate 24 weeks: About 50–60% survival 25 weeks: Up to 80% survival in top-tier NICUs 26–27 weeks and beyond: Survival rates rise further, with many positive long-term outcomes According to the American Academy of Pediatrics and research from The New England Journal of Medicine , every additional day in the womb increases a baby’s chances of survival and reduces complications. What to Expect in the NICU The NICU can feel overwhelming at first, beeping machines, tubes, and a baby who may look much smaller than you imagined. But it is also a place of hope, healing, and remarkable care. Your baby will be supported by a skilled team of nurses, neonatologists, and specialists dedicated to helping even the tiniest lives thrive. Premature babies may need help with: Breathing (ventilators or CPAP machines) Feeding (via feeding tube) Temperature regulation (incubators) Fighting infections Even the most fragile preemies often show extraordinary strength and resilience. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the earliest a premature baby can survive? A: Survival has been reported as early as 22 weeks gestation , though outcomes improve significantly at 23 weeks and beyond. Q: What causes premature birth? A: Possible causes include infection, multiple pregnancy (twins/triplets), preeclampsia, or issues with the uterus or placenta. Sometimes, the cause is unknown. Q: Can babies born at 30–34 weeks survive? A: Yes. Most babies born during this window do very well, often requiring only short-term NICU care. A Message of Hope for Parents of Premature Babies If you’re holding onto hope, you’re already doing one of the most powerful things you can for your child. Every day in the NICU is a step forward. Even on hard days, remember: your baby is stronger than they look, and you are not alone. Many preemies grow up to live healthy, happy lives. Celebrate the small victories—every breath, every feed, every milestone. Looking for Free NICU Care Packages?

Our role is to offer emotional support, share coping strategies, and help you feel less alone – while always encouraging you to turn to your healthcare providers for medical decisions. Maintain A Sympathetic Approach We support with empathetic hearts and understanding ears, offering the kind of comfort that comes from having walked this path before. When parents have medical questions, we can share our personal experiences while lovingly guiding them back to their healthcare team for expert advice.
