I had my baby last month and she is almost 3 months early. But since I didn't have a good midwife there was no signs of me going into. Labor, but I was sent into labor and delivery because of my high blood pressure and a few days later I had an emergency c section

I had a premie. She weighed 4 lbs 4 oz. and was born at 8 months. My Doctor detected that I had an IUGR (Interurteran Growth Restriction) I never knew how this happened but it seemed as if my placenta was positioned some way that my baby wasn't getting enough nutrients and therfore wasn't growing at the speed she should. Besides being born early and tiny she was a healthy baby and they discharged her 2 weeks after birth. She was able to drink 2 oz of milk and breath on her own.

I really didn't have any signs just that my doctor detected the growth rate was not where it was supposed to be.

My little girl is now 2 years. Bright and healthy (:

I had a premmie baby( he's now almost 5 years old) he was 6 weeks early. When I was born I was 8 weeks early ( I had a lot of lung problems) I mentioned to my Dr when I was pregnant and she wasn't concerned so didn't expect it my son was suppose to be born the 28th of September and he was born the 15th of August.

I had a lot of back problems during my pregnancy as I'm short in height. I had hip pain started at 28weeks. I had to stop working cuz I couldn't walk. So anyway the night before our son arrived my water started "leaking " so we went to the hospital and so because I was early and my water was leaking I had to stay in the hospital. I also tested for Strep B which they usually test and like 3 weeks or so. Where I was early they tested me their and so I was put on andtbdntibiotics for the first 4hrs. So long story short my son came the afternoon of august 15th. My son weighed in at 5 lbs 3 Oz and was in the hospital for 8 days due to low birth weight and hard time eating( was very spitty, they say his stomach muscles hadn't fully developed.
