Good luck, I hope your little un holds on for a while although they are as developed as a new born now.

We are all thinking of you.

Good luck Bagpuss. You & the baby will be fine don't worry, besides you're in the best place. I was born 6 weeks early (30 years ago ) and I was fine (obviously ) & things have improved alot since then.
Woohoo, you'll get to meet your lttle bundle of joy soon

Yohoo!

How exciting......bless ya. Is it boring in there? When do they plan to induce if nothing happens naturally?

Wow thats a bit of a shock to log on and see that Bagpuss17! Hope everything is going ok and they're looking after you well. I can't believe there's another early one!

I did start to panic last night as i've been getting loads of Braxton Hicks (I think!) which i've not had up until now. Then I was getting really bad stomach and back cramps and it was so painful. Think it was just something i'd eaten as I spent about an hour on the toilet afterwards!

Anyway, good luck and will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

HI Bagpuss17,

This is a suprise, i was only posting on monday about a show that i had, turns out to be nothing so far tho, we are due the same day !

Anyway hope all goes well and that you are holding your baby in your ams very soon!

Good Luck!

Good luck!!! Very exciting.

Zara was born at 33+5, she weighed 5lbs, breathed on her own straight away and was only in special care for 12 hours. She came out screaming her head off. She was furious!

We were in transitional care for 2 weeks only because I wanted to breastfeed which takes longer for small babies to learn. If I'd bottle fed I could have been out within a week so that's always an option.

Everything will be fine. Get someone to get you some premature babygros. Best ones are from Mothercare - they do 3lbs, up to 5lbs and up to 7lbs. Get a couple of small hats from there too. Oh, and they're the only place I found nappies for premies that really were small enough.

You'll be fine. Thinking of you

 

[hayley]

that's a lovely story about your baby LouisecH - gives others reassurance that pre babies are strong little things...

OMG Bagpuss.. only just seen this thread... GOOD LUCK!! I am sure all will be fine with LO.. I too was born 6 weeks early, I was a little underweight [3.5 llbs and so was in an incubator for a little while but I turned out OK [ish!! ]

Make the most of the rest, sod work and even if you cannot sleep the resting will be doing you both some good.

Take care and keep us posted if you can

VERY EXCITED FOR YOU!!!
