How many weeks is a viable pregnancy?
My sister is in her first trimester and quite anxious. We keep hearing about 'viable pregnancy', so I wanted to ask, how many weeks is a pregnancy considered viable?

From what I have read online, 24 weeks is generally considered the limit of viability, but modern medical care can sometimes support babies born slightly earlier too.

In our case, the doctor mentioned 24 weeks as a major milestone for baby's survival. Every case is different, so it is best to discuss this directly with your doctor.

Usually, viability is considered around 24 weeks. My elders told me to do special prayers after this mark, but please trust your doctor's advice for your specific health condition.

Generally, 24 weeks is the threshold. I know how scary it is to worry about this milestone constantly, but try to stay calm and follow your doctor's instructions closely.

Viability is around 24 weeks, but complications can happen anytime. If you have any bleeding, pain, or fluid leakage, please go to the hospital immediately without waiting.
