Summary Woman gave birth to a one-pound baby, Frieda, after only 21 weeks and five days of pregnancy.
A German woman gave birth to a one-pound baby, Frieda, after only 21 weeks and five days of pregnancy, making it the worlds most premature baby to survive.Frieda was born on November 7 she measured 11 inches (28 centimetres) and weighed only one pound (460 grammes). The doctor said, There is no foreseeable risk of after-effects for the moment, and that the little girl should develop normally like any other child. Professor Reinald Repp, director of the paediatric clinic said that her survival was a miracle because generally babies born before 22 weeks have no chance because their lungs, heart and brain are not sufficiently developed.Frieda was kept in a completely sterile environment, with her breathing assisted and fed through her navel.
