Good luck with your induction...sounds like the baby is a good weight being on the 25th percentile, my little girl was on the 9th percentile at 26 weeks gestation when she was born and her journey through NICU was uncomplicated but still distressing. IMO having met so many tiny babies 33+4 weeks is a good gestation.
I know you must be in terrible shock, the support you will get from the NICU staff hopefully will help you through. I hope your husband can get leave, I met a man in one of the hospitals we were at who was in the army and they allowed him special leave for his twins...I hope the Navy can show this compassion too...big hugs...x

Hey Hun, nothing we can say to you will make you feel any better about having your little girl early. She will be in the best hands at the hospital and you will be in good hands on here. We are all here for you. xxxxx

hey hun, my lo was born at 33+4 and weighed a good 3lb 11 as he also had IUGR and only required minimal support, he was in NICU 17 days and apart from the odd virus/bug he is a very healthy boy. You are in the best possible hands, like Dona had said nothing we can say here will make you feel any better but any questions you want to ask or just someone to talk to we are hear.

Even if its for company the next few days while you wait were here....

Good luck with the induction, hope everything goes smoothly for you and your family xx

Hello and welcome!!

My LO was born at 32+5 due to pre eclampsia and IUGR, and she was born under 0.4th centile (and stayed there! )

Many congratulations on the imminent arrival of your precious baby girl, dont let the fact she came early tarnish this memory!! You're about to become a mummy!

Take MILLIONS of pictures, collect everything you can and even though it may feel difficut right now, you WILL get through this and your little lady will show you she is a fighter. Hang in there Bird-we are all here for you and love a good chat

Congatulations and welcome to Mummydom!! xxx
