Earliest Baby Birth?

Ok ladies I wasnt sure how to word this, my question is when have you heard, experienced or been told is the "Earliest" you can go into labor with the "highest" chance of survival rate? Im just curious.

I saw a lady on Discovery Health and her baby was born at 26 weeks and luckily survived, but i just wondered when is a time we can stop I guess so called "worrying" if we go into labor with best outcomes>?

i have been told 37 weeks , but don't quote me on it . 

I'm pretty sure around 26 weeks they cna surivive with a lot of intensive care

This is from the Gaga Pregnancy Calendar Week 27:

Even now, at the beginning of the third trimester, their little lungs are already capable of breathing air while the pulmonary vascular system can provide sufficient gas exchange and the central nervous system can generally regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature. For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy a premature child (with intensive care) could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.”
