Hi can I join you? x


I just wanted to say hello

Im a mum of 8 and my last 3 babies were prem.

Sean was born at 35 weeks (August 2006 weighing 5lb 110z). I had such a quick labour and birth (35 mins!) so he was born on the living room floor! Fortunately he was fine and didnt need any help.

Ellis was born at 33 weeks (February 2008 weighing 5lb 1oz). She was in Scbu for 2 weeks, She had jaundice and a feeding tube but fine.

Lewis was born at 31 weeks (November 2008 weighing 4lb 8oz). He was in scbu for 3 weeks. He had an infection of his cord site and needed caffine for irregular heartrate and a feeding tube. Hes one on friday and pretty much caught up!

Im 16+6 weeks pregnant now and have been told that this one will more than likely be prem too so thought id introduce myself!

all your babies were born at good weights, my little one born at 33 weeks and was 3lb 11. Getting to 30-32/3 weeks or so would be a good aim but you never know this wee one might make you wait for him/her xx

Hiya . I hope your baby stays put for a long time.

Your babies have incredible weights, Lewis was born 1 - 1 and a half weeks further along than when my son was born and weighed 2lbs 3oz more.
