By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 08/10/2023

Yes, a baby can be born at the end of the seventh month of pregnancy and would be considered extremely premature. In these cases, babies will remain in the incubator for as long as the specialist deems necessary and will receive special care such as assisted breathing or feeding.
