In cases where your baby would be premature, they may survive just fine for weeks with proper monitoring and treatment, usually in a hospital setting. In cases where your baby is at least 37 weeks, current research suggests that it may be safe to wait 48 hours (and sometimes longer) for labor to start on its own.

New research confirmed that 22-week fetuses, measured from the first day of the pregnant woman's last menstrual cycle, can survive. Babies born before that age did not survive. So, Lawrence is correct that 20-week fetuses, measured from the first day of the pregnant woman's last menstrual cycle, are not viable.

A baby turtle can't go more than a couple of days without water, and not more than a week or two without food. Small adult turtles can go longer, especially if they are in a state of brumation (reduced body function due to low temperatures).

Drink more fluids According to one study , hydration is very helpful for upping amniotic fluid levels in women between 37 and 41 weeks of pregnancy. While more research is needed, a Cochrane database review also found that simple hydration increased amniotic fluid levels.
