preemies??

Has anyone had experience with a preemie? If so how far along were you when you gave birth.  I had an emergency c section at 25w 5d

Preemies tend to be fighters. My daughter is just fine. You'll have to work with baby when you bring her/him home. Lots of therapy but so worth the effort. She's  further ahead than some kids her age.

I was pregnant with twins. Lost my son at 23 weeks. Delivered my daughter at 27weeks. She'll be 2 in aug. We were in the NICU for 3 months. You can expect baby to get a couple blood transfusions and be on a ventilator for at least a month. Feeding tube for almost your whole stay. Any other questions just ask. :) everything will be fine. The alarms will scare the crap out of you every time. Dont worry. Nurse comes in every time it goes off. I found talking to my daughter when her heart rate started to drop helped her bring it back up
