Baby Born early due in Sept

Hi this feels strange that Iam in august Chat room baby was not due till Sept. I had a nice pregnany up till the last few weeks as baby stop growing and a lot of running back and forth till hospital,

In the end baby born at 36 weeks and very small just under 5lb with baby in specail unit and out within a week it feels good to be home.

Even though I feel over the mood with the whole experience, Just trying to get use to the sleepless night and finding it hard to get a pattern as I need to ensure baby is sticking to feeding time to put weight on.

Everyone tell me it gets easier I hope so...

  • Thanks guys for making me welcome I have always been on this site during my pregnancy but this is the only time i have posted something a story shared is a story halfed.
    My boy is called Jaydon he was 4lb at 36 weeks. even I took hin out the other day a few comments how little he is..lol Iam also Breast feeding and it is sore but I have to do this as he gets the best from this milk but iam mixing with his pre mature formula milk. Even though Iam a little sore after C section I look at his little face and think I would do it again and again.
    So what are you ladies up to this sunny Bank hoilday weekend? Iam gonna take Jaydon to the park a bit of fresh air.
