  • Hey there



    I had my babies at 34 weeks. My boys were in hospital for a week however my daughter spent 9 weeks in NICU after developing NEC and needing 2 ops.



    Thankfully she pulled through and has made a remarkable recovery.



    Developmentally they have done really well. They all walked at 12 months (uncorrected) and their language development has been spot on.

  • Hi

    Its nice to hear that your prems are now doing so well. Isla is now 5.5 months and still only 11lb and people think she looks like a doll! Socially she is spot on but physically she is behind x
  • It's really good to hear from you all who have been in similar situations Harry was weaned 3 weeks ago and loving his food I'm really enjoying cooking him his first foods he's also got his first 2 teeth which I couldn't believe. He's been a bit poorly over the last few days with a high temperature so had a few sleepless nights I think he is on the mend now though. He's nearly 7 months from birth 5 months corrected.
  • A friend of mine gave birth prematurly. He is 8 months old now and after a few problems, he is doing really well.

  • Hi guys my little lady was 2lbs 15 and is 11 weeks old now. She was in nice for 3 weeks and scbu for another 4 weeks. It really takes its toll on you visiting and sitting at the hospital everyday without being able to take your baby home. She has been home 4weeks now and I'm not going to lie its been hard work. She has colic an reflux as well as constipation. She seems a little bit more settled at night then before but is still up a lot in the night. She is not growing very quickly and is only 5lbs 10 now...I wondered if any of your babies have had growth spirts or are they all still very tiny? Xxxxxx
  • We had our first baby at the end of february - emergency c-section as I had pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome...was very traumatic to be told that the only way to cure the problem was to deliver our baby...but he was delivered at 31 weeks and is doing well. He is putting on weight slowly and is breathing for himself...we have had to buy him special nappies and clothes!

    Hoping he will be home some...they said he might be able to come home once he reaches a certain weight, can maintain his temp and can feed from me!

    Love to all the mummies who have ealry babies x x
