The baby is considered as extremely preterm infant.

The babies that are born alive before the completion of a period of 37 weeks of pregnancy are the preterm babies. There are three categories into which preterm born babies are distinguished: moderate to late preterm for 32-37 weeks, very preterm for 28-32 weeks and extremely preterm for less than 28 weeks.

Premature births are one of the major causes of death of children under the age of 5 years. The babies that survive may have problems and may be visual or hearing impaired, may have learning disabilities etc.
