As the pregnancy progresses, the survival rate continually improves, with the rate of complications gradually falling. By the end of 27 weeks, the survival rate nears 90%. Survival, however, is not enough to consider it a âsafeâ time to give birth. A majority of babies born after 32 weeks of pregnancy will not have lasting difficulties. By 37 weeks, most babies will be released from the hospital just like full-term babies, requiring no extra care. This is the time at which I would consider it safe to give birth.
