thyroid in premature babies

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?

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.

Premature babies honestly amaze me. Eepecially the ones who born at less than 30 weeks. It's amazing how something so tiny and fragile can survive. 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!

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.

I've read jaundice is particularly common in premature babies. I was born two weeks late. My mother had to be induced even then. I was so not ready to leave. :) I didn't have jaundice.

Hyperthyroid can cause low birth weight babies and premature babies. I have taken my meds every day since I found out I was pregnant and I have rrecently been having issues with pre term labor. Im 33 weeks soon to be 34 on thursday.

She now is on a desiccated porcine thyroid replacement which has both t3 and t4 in it. Most babies, as mine was, are usually only on Synthroid and they do well with this. Your babies TSH should be decreasing and not increasing .I agree that if this continues to rise then you will need to take your son to a pediatric endocrinologist for further blood testing tio check the actual thyroid hormone levels (free t3 and free t4).

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.

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.

m high risk due to not being able to carry any of my pregnancy to term I had all premature babies and no one can tell me why I can't carry to term lucky all my kids all big and healthy

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.

I am currently pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy. It is my first with Hashimoto's disease. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and everything so far has been going well. My Thyroid medication has been increased and TSH last reading was 0.6. My concern is can the antibodies that i have cross over the placenta and affect the unborn fetus's thyroid gland.? I understand that mental and growth retardation can be the outcome.

Dr Dr. Lupo, You have been very helpful before and I just want to check something new. I am in a premature menopause right now. During the past year the symptoms have become much worse, & my thyroid has been swinging between borderline hypothyroid and normal. Recently, my doc made me stop my HRT to see where I was in the premature menopause, and my FSH came back at 40 and Oestrogen at 80. So she has said I am post menopausal.

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.
