Avatar f tn Also I'd like to know if there is anything special that I should have for a premature baby, one of those motion sensitive monitors? I'd like to breast feed, should I invest in buying a pump? Any thing at all that will help me take care of a premie when I am able to take him home?
Avatar f tn ve been told by my doctor that when it comes to being pregnant, it is always going to be very high risk for me because of my seizure disorder. (I had seizures in both of my pregnancies, by the way) Would it be safe for me to have a 3rd child? what do you think?
Avatar f tn Is premature birth genetic or does it just depends on how your body deals with the pregnancy and everything? I was 4 days premature, my little brother was 6 weeks premature and my babies father was 5 weeks.

Ladies that have premature babies I honestly salute you that is such an amazing yet scary expiercence. I thank god every day that my daughter stays in there another day. My friend recently just had her baby at 34 weeks and I just find it so crazy because I'm 34 weeks and I can't imagine my baby being born yet!
4981292 tn?1381256805 My son was born premature. The way they explained it to me is: for example when he was technically 3months old they said he was 1.5months. So if he didn't meet the normal 3month milestones it was because he was early. They counted the months based on when his due date actually was. They only did that till he caught up which didn't take too terribly long but they wanted to assure me that he was on track.
8769357 tn?1402719875 Hey moms, I was wondering how many of you had premature babies and at what week and how did you babies do. I'm 32 and half weeks and was told yesterday that I'm in premature labore. I'm quite worried for the baby as to survival.
Avatar f tn My daughter had a 4 minute seizure in June for the first time ever.She was born premature by two months and had a twin that didn't survive. She had a cat scan done that showed she had calcification adjacent to the third ventricle, which may be in the left thalamus. The doctor ordered a MRI and the results say scattered punctate foci of increased T2 and Flair signal are noted in the supratentorial white matter and may represent the subtle sequelae of a remote insult. What does this mean.

Avatar m tn In 2nd baby it is 4mm PDA even after 5 days ibrufen medicine there is no reduction in size. Forunately both the babies are active taking almost 15ml milk feed. My concern is do we require any surgery to close this PDA. Also both the babies has diagnoised with muscular VSD, for which dr. mentioned it will close by itself.
Avatar m tn Jaundice is common in newborns, especially premature babies. Does your son have hepatitis or are you asking if hepatitis could be causing the jaundice? Your baby's bilirubin level is not high enough for you to be worried, 25 is considered dangerous and he's well below that. He's being treated by the drs with ultra violet therapy and that's the best thing to do for him. Try not to worry. Be happy that the other tests are clear.
Avatar f tn I was wondering what are the chances that you might actually get into labour at 32 weeks? And moms who actually gave birth to premature babies,did u have the feeling or that maternal instinct where ur feeling strongly tells you your baby is coming earlier than expected? Im almost 30wks,due 4th April but i have this irritating feeling where i feel like my baby is going to come out early.my mom gave birth to me prematured where her water just broke and went to labour.
Avatar f tn Has anyone on here had a premature baby? What was it like? Was the baby healthy? Im just curious. I kinda feel like my baby is going to come a little early. I hope she doesnt tho, im currently 31 weeks.
Avatar f tn Premature babies are born before 37 weeks. Sometimes they just decide to come out sometimes you developer pre ecclampsia sometimes it's due to high risk factors. There really isn't much you can do tho. If you are having a normal healthy pregnancy I don't think you need to worry about it happening but ask your Dr if you are concerned and maybe they can ease your mind.
Avatar f tn Ur in my prayers I had my baby had 25 weeks shes now 4 months everything will be fine trust in God.
Avatar f tn Babies born before 37 weeks are at a higher risk for having issues and possibly spending time in the NICU. If you are in fact in preterm labor doctors will likely administer injections to help baby's lungs develop well enough to breathe effectively even if you deliver early. That having been said, most premature babies born after 32 weeks have pretty good outcomes. They may have some complications but are very likely to survive and thrive in the long term.
