Twins born at 27 weeks, 2lb 2oz and 2lb 4oz. They are 20 years old now and was told at their 1year old dr visit that if he didn’t know they were premies, he wouldn’t have been able to tell it because they were so healthy. Very blessed and thankful!

This has nothing to do with babies being early, because both of mine were considered full term. 1st daughter: 37+2, 7 lbs 8 oz. 2nd daughter: 37+5, 7 lbs exactly. They swore my second baby was going to be a large baby and were off by a couple of pounds.

My first (out of 2) was born premature at 28 weeks. He was 1lb 14 oz. I had severe preeclampsia with him. He had to stay in the NICU for 2 months to learn how to breathe and eat by himself and have no apnea (breathing stops) during his sleep. He also had to be 6 lbs before he went home. It was a very hard time for us, all the tubes and machines and the limited bonding (we lived out of town I was life flighted to the hospital) but our son is now 8 years old and healthy as can be :blue_heart: You would never know he was a preemie.

Water broke at 35 weeks but I had prenatal diabetes they were measuring him as a big baby. When he arrived he was 5lbs10oz 20inch long no nicu home in 2days he was breech so had emergency c-section

My eldest son was born 32 years ago I was 27 weeks pregnant by emergency c section he only weighed 640grams! He was 32cm long. He was incubated with head box oxygen and was tube fed 2.5ml every 2 hours with my expressed milk. He needed a complete blood transfusion at 3 weeks old. And in spite of them telling me that his chances of surviving was 10% we never gave up and never lost faith! In spite of all the trials and tribulations he survived! I wish you all the best mommy to be :heavy_heart_exclamation:

I had my youngest child at 29wks pregnant, and he was 2Ibs 11oz. Although scary he is now 9yrs old (or 9 and a half if you ask him).

A month early and 6lbs 2oz

My twins were born at 33 weeks and weighed in at 5lbs 8oz and 4lbs 11oz.

I was told they would most likely need to be in NICU for a few weeks and may be developmentally delayed compared to their peers.

Both of them went home with me 5 days later and were in advance placement and merit classes all through school.

They’re now 19, happy and healthy. We experienced no medical issues with them growing up.

I had my 3rd at 35 weeks. He was 6.5 pounds
