Question regarding very premature birth

My sister is currently 23+5 and in hospital with heavy bleeding and waters leaking significantly. My question is, what are the drs meant to do if she goes in to labour in the next couple of days? Ie. Before 24 weeks? Are they supposed to try and help the baby survive or would they treat it as a 'late miscarriage'? Seems a bit odd to me that they haven't already transferred her to a specialist early pregnancy unit. Should she be demanding this? Apparently the drs and midwives are being very cagey about it....

Gosh, wishing you and your sister all the very best Flowers

Thank you all for your kind words. It means a lot. She is having a tough time of it. She's got some stomach problems and has had a small bleed on her brain. She had lots of colour the other day but is very pale now apparently. I'm still hopeful, trying to think positive. Your reassuring stories help with that, so thank you again x

Wish I wasn't typing this... Sadly she didn't make it. The poor tiny girl. She fought for 6 days but it was all too much for her. RIP sweet one.

I'm so sorry. My son was also a 24 weeker, and we didn't have very long with him either. Your niece knew nothing but love, and I'm sorry she couldn't stay. Love to you and your family x

I've only just read the thread from the beginning.. So sorry for your heartbreak news.

Rest in peace little one Flowers

Thank you all. I haven't seen my sister yet as got two of my own to look after but I can't imagine how she feels. She's in bits. It's so incredibly sad.
Really want to thank everyone who gave advice and reassurance on here. It was really helpful.
