What are the chances of preterm delivery. Everything I've read says 40-50% are born around 34 weeks.

If I went into labor that prematurely would ECMO be an option?!

Dr. Ruano responds: "Excellent question. Usually ECMO is performed if the baby is born at >=32 weeks and has >=2.0 Kg. So, the answer is Yes, if the baby is born after 32 weeks, but maybe not if the baby is born before 32 weeks. We need to discuss case by case."
