Early babies?

Question

Did you have your baby early? If so, how early? Were they discharged with you? I'm worried about early labor.

Answer

I had my daughter at 33 weeks. She stayed in NICU for 18 days. She had and has no health issues and is developing right on track.  (She's 16 months now)
Typically babies need to reach 4 requirements to go home with mommy
They need to:
Be 35 weeks
A minimum of 4lbs
Breathe on their own
Eat on their own
Maintain their temp.

37 weeks is now considered full term.

Answer

I went into labor with my twins at 28 weeks, my daughter spent two weeks with us before passing away. My son spent 67 days in the NICU, so he was not released with me. I'm worried about early labor with my second, as well.

Answer

I had my daughter at 35+4, she ended up being 6lb 11oz, nothing wrong with her, had her on a Monday, discharged together on Wednesday. She did develop pretty bad jaundice and we had to go back and stay a night in the hospital under the heat lamp. I just like to say she came out of the oven a liiiittle too early and had to finish up under the heat lamps ;) her due date was correct too because I had a dating ultrasound very early on. I guess she just baked up real quick. I'm very curious to see how this one ends up.

I had my first son at exactly 36 wks due to preeclampsia. Doc checked my cervix on a friday and I had already started to dialate. We were induced the following monday and he was born a healthy 6lbs 14 oz 20 inches long. He had a little bit of jaundice but was discharged within 48hrs. I was discharged two days after him.

I had my mermaid at 36weeks. She came out 5lbs 7oz. I had to stay at the hospital for about 3-4 days so they can take some test and monitor her, but she's healthy as can be. She's now 8months and 2 teeth and more coming in:) she's so big for her age. Just keep your breastfeeding game up girl!
