I woke up in pain. I thought it was nothing. I got my odler children dressed, and feed. I sat down to rest it hurt so bad to walk. After an hour I carried my 2 year old to the car, and left for the 20 min drive to my inlaws home. I left my children there, and drove to the hospotal to see my OBGYN. They took my blood preasure it was high, and there was protien in my urin. She sent me to labor, and delivery. Once at labor, and delivery I called my husband at work, and told him they were watching me, but I was fine, and would be home in time for dinner HAHAHA...That didn't happen. My doctor orderd an ultra sound well it showed a placenta abbrution. She broke my water, and put a monitor on his head. With in 30 sec. they new it was bad. The nurse asked to my husbands cell number. She said sir, your wife is going for a c-section. I lost it. I thought no, no, no! Not with out my husband here. They ran me down a long hall asking me question the entire way. When they got my to the room there were people evry where. I wa scared. I screamed "GOD PLEASE SAVE HIM" and then I was out. I woke up in recovery where my first question was is my baby alive. They said "he came out screaming". I fell back a sleep. When I woke up again my husband, and mother were holding my hand. He said he's ok. He was on a vent, but doing well. I wanted to see him so badly, but they wouldn't let me. My best friend, and my mother were the first ones to see him. They took a picture of him for me.. It was another 24 hours befor I was allowed in to see him. Then another 9 days before I was allowed to hold him.. He is now home after 3 of the longest weeks of my life. So now after 4 times a day trips to the NICU scrubbing the hide off your hands just to touch him he is a 5 lbs 2 oz thriving baby. A long cry from the 3 lbs 11 oz he lost down to..

My son reece was born 8 wks. early, weighing 3.2 lbs. @ his lowest. we were in the nicu for 6 wks and i cried everyday. I pumped every four hours the entire time reece was in the hospital and when he came home i was able to nurse him for seven months until he weened himself to the bottle and sip cup, both of which he know holds himself;most of the time. He is almost eight months old, babbles constantly, is trying to sit and can stand with a little help from me. he has started eating one to two meals a day and loves the water (shower or pool). At his six month checkup reece hit the average line on the growth chart for head and weight and is progressing fast. in the last week he has said "baba", "mama", and today he found the d and said "dada". he does not say them often but he is learning and i just encouge, encourage, encourage.

Our twin boys were born on 19 January 2007 at 28 weeks. They were 1,16kg and 1,14kg respectively. The smaller passed away after only 2 days. The other one did very well and came home with us after six exhausting weeks. It was hard times, but he is very well now. His weight is now 4.4kg and gaining fast. Though we miss his little brother we are thankfull for the little life that was saved!

its been 2 two years since my son was born (july 4th,2005) as a premie, and until now I still feel the pain and sadness. He was born at 27 wks, 2.5 lbs....he had a surgery when was four days old. I still remember the time when the doctors call me while on my way to work that my son stopped breathing again for few seconds...they didn't know what is causing the problem so they gave him a different kinds of meds, to help him. As strong as an angel, i brought my son home after a long wait of 4 1/2 months. I thank the Lord Jesus for answering our prayers...at this time i am still thinking..what have i done wrong...my son has hearing loss of both ears. He is wearing hearing aids but after undergoing so many audiology exams they said that hearing aids is not enough for him to learn speech. they are recommending to cochlear implant but i still can not decide, i don't want my som to suffer again,..but i am thingking what if he is goin' to blame in the future for not giving him that chance of having the implant...Its so hard... sometimes i am still blaming myself for what happened..pls give advice...i am so scared of the procedure that my son has to undergo again.

I personally was a preemie; I now am a completely normal (if teens can be normal) I just turned 15.I found this site out of curiosity of what my parents had to endure. I was born 3 months early, and I weighed 2 pounds even. I was extremely lucky to be born at a hospital with an amazing nicu. My parents are still in touch with my primary care nurse. I read the stories and even though I am a living miracle I don't see myself that way. I am so appreciative of my parents and their support. I see pictures now of that tiny baby with wires all of and sometimes I cry knowing how lucky I am. I live life to the fullest because I know I probably should have died, and that there is a reason I am still here today. God bless all you and your preemies.
