what is the earliest a baby has been born and lived?

I know, not too long ago, a woman had a baby at 21 weeks 6 days and it survived but most babies would not and i'm sure her baby has lots of problems. I think the earliest in general babies can be born and have a shot at surviving is around 25 weeks, but that is still very early. Do you think your baby is going to be born too early for some reason?

26 weeks is the magic number as far as survival rating. I hope you are not facing a 2nd trimester delivery?
