Baby born at 26 weeks 

This hit very close to home! Like Griffin, I was born premature at 26 weeks too. I weighed 1.5 lbs and I was in the hospital for 4 months due to surgeries. Here I am almost 20 years old and am so blessed to be alive. This video brought me to tears! Griffin is so so strong and has such an amazing future ahead of him! It’s so heart warming to see him smile, giggle and enjoy life! He is a fighter! God bless you and your family!! 🤍

I am admitted in hospital for last 1 month. Complete bedrest, not even sitting. 24 weeks completed today. Praying for my twins. I will in bed as long as required. No regrets. I want my babies to be safe. This video re-assured me that everything will be fine.

I am 26 weeks with my first baby. At the moment, i am in the hospital on bed rest because I am 5cm dialeted, so all the doctors are waiting for is for the water to break. I am scared because my boy means the world to me without seeing him yet, but watching your video gives me hope and strength that we can do it. Thank you for sharing your testimony

I am a new NICU mom of a 26 weeker born last week. Your video has given me so much faith that things will be alright. Thank you.

This is the best thing on RU-vid❤️ Griffin is the smartest, cutest little boy ever (and his brother Gus too!) and they have the BEST parents! Wish you long, healthy lives filled with joy and happiness!

This is one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. The words of wisdom and message you have spoken to your son are incredible!! Griffin is very fortunate to have you as his mother.

This was so emotional. I couldn't forced back my tears. Lauren, you are a fighter, you are strong and Griffin has the best mom in the whole world. Kisses and Hugs from Bremen/Germany

I am crying over this video. What a beautiful and miracle baby you have! A gorgeous blessing. Wishing Griffing you and your husband a healthy and prosperous life.

That is a blessing in the sky watching your story❤️ I’m so happy that he lived and continue to be a little ⭐️ in your lives

I promise I cried through this entire video…such a blessing he not only survived but he was able to live and do it abundantly so beautiful

This made me smile on a very hard day at work !! If that tinni tiny baby can fight so hard … I can smile and make it threw my day !!!! Thanks so much for sharing your precious story !!!! ❤️🙏

I cried when you first posted this when Griffin was born and I’m crying again. You are an incredible mama and I’m sure you had a lot to do with Griffin fighting and thriving! He’s incredibly lucky to have been born to you...and his dad of course. ☺️. How can he not have an incredible life with parents like you two! 💝💝

Thank youuuuu for sharing,my baby is currently in the nicu born at 24weeks..this encourages me that my baby can be healthy and have a great future and pull through this journey in the nicu..so glad ur baby did and is doing so well❤

Oh this video made me Cry! Griffin is for sure a fighter and I know he will have a healthy and joyful life 💙 and the love from his parents was also the best medicine he could ever have ☺️☺️☺️

I’m so happy that Griffin thrived and was able to come home with his mommy & daddy!! ❤️❤️ my nephew was born last week August 17th at 9:47am at just 26 weeks old and 2 pounds. Griffin’s story gives me so much faith and hope for my nephew Nathaniel ♥️ he is already such a huge blessing in our life 🙏🏻

Griffin, you fought for your life ! Your father and mother stood by you ! Thank you for sharing this depth of love with us, Lauren. God bless you always ! Love, prayer and thought, grace (Singapore)

My darling first child was born at 26 weeks. The milestones you spoke about are so very close to my daughter’s - 2lb born, 131 days before I was able to “room in” and get ready to go home. My baby is 26, as of mid-2022. We called her Grace, meaning “God’s Favour”.

Griffin is so beautiful and strong. So full of life!!! This gave me some hope. I’m currently pregnant with twin girls. 26 weeks as of yesterday. I am in the hospital with some complications. I’ve never felt more terrified in my life. your video just made me feel a bit of reassurance & hope. Thank you. So much. This touched my heart and hit so close to home.

Precious little angel!! A gift from God!!! Thank you for being a wonderful Mama to him and for making this uplifting video. ❤

This made me cry so hard. Griffin, I'm beyond happy that you made it and seeing you jumping, running, dancing, singing in joy makes my heart burst with gratitude, relief and humility. Lauren, you've got my deepest respect. Your love is the source of Griffins strength. Same goes to the dad of course. I don't know neither of you personally but you all touch my heart. I wish you a beautiful, joyful, sunny life. Always know you're protected and cared for. ❤

Your video gives me hope. I am 26weeks and i was admitted today because the baby wants to come early. I have been crying but this video did me a lot of good. Thanks for sharing❤😥

I’m pregnant, and this made me cry. 😭Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

What a beautiful strong boy ! God bless you 🙏🏽

Your video is so inspiring, it literally made me cry. Thank you for sharing this amazing video as i'm going through the same similar situation myself as we speak. I'm 27 weeks pregnant, we conceived through IVF, and found out at 24 weeks our baby was experiencing growth restrictions. At 26 weeks and a half my water broke and found a new issue with my placenta being oddly shaped. Unfortunately we still have no conclusive answers as to why this is happening I still remain in the hospital with hopes baby girl will make it to 34 weeks. We monitor her daily along with ultrasounds and she is doing great. You and your beautiful son are such a huge inspiration to all us women going through this. Thank you

He's adorable all the way through. God bless your family.

That's wonderful that he survived and is so healthy! Truly a blessing 💞

Oh my gosh...my heart is filled with love for you and your family. Griffin is ah-mazing. Sending you all hugs❤️

This made me so emotional. Your baby is amazing he's an overcomer😘

I'm currently in a really tough situation at 20 weeks pregnant. I walked into my ultrasound with so much excitement as we were going to see baby and find out the gender. However this took a quick turn when the I was informed my cervix was dilated and my water membrane sac was seen bulging thru. This meant the water sac could break anytime and I would have to go into labor. I came across your video and I cried a lot but also this has given me so much hope. As you mentioned, with the uncertainty of what can happen there is always hope of what can be. I'm currently taking it easy and praying my water doesnt break and we can reach a point where baby can be helped once he comes. Thank you for sharing your amazing story of baby Griffin. This has truly given me courage and more strength for my own journey.

My grandson was born last month at 26 weeks. It is so hard .... when I feel discouraged , I watch your post of your journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. What a beautiful young man 😀😀😀😀

I cried! It was very emotional. You gave so much love to this baby. I hope your son will always be by your side. I watched your videos about your preterm babies about 4 month ago when I was in nicu with my baby girl. She was born at 32 weeks. I got admitted to the hospital at 25 weeks and was on bed rest until she was born. I was also diagnosed with Covid when admitted and the doctor said that could of been the reason for the preterm labor. There was so much uncertainty. I prayed. Thats all I could do. Today my baby girl Sarah is home with us. She is a beautiful miracle baby. I am so happy that your kids won the battle! You have a beautiful family!

NICU was do hard . I was so sad for my situation but I felt worse for those who couldn't get as close to there baby as I was with mine . To see many come and go was an emotional rollercoaster. Bless you

Omg he is just absolutely beautiful such a cutie pie 😍 I love his smile his whole face just glows I loved it when he had his dad's shoes on that was just adorable 🥰 congratulations mom and dad 😊💐

That’s so beautiful thank you for sharing he is gorgeous!

I lost my 32 weeks baby boy...who survived only 7 days in NICU.....l missed him a lot....you are the luckiest people who have this bless

I absolutely love this💯🙏🏽

I too was born weighing 2 pounds, before 1970. Fortuneately, I did not have any of the typical issues a premee has. All I needed was a little O2 support for a few weeks and to gain weight. It never occured to my mom that I could have died. Perhaps that was a blessing for her. I came home about a month or so after I was born weighing 5 pounds. :)

This was amazing!!! I needed to hear this during my season of pregnancy. I am in the hospital now waiting for my little one. Such strength pulled from this video. God bless you!!

This video make me so emotional I had my son today @ 5:30 he is 2lb 9oz ❤️ jus beautiful strong babies 🙏🏽

How so sweet

My wife just delivered twins at 26 weeks our angel Emma Grace didn’t make it but Sadie Mae is currently in the NICU on the event and all I can do is google what to expect and if she will make it with no major issues! This videos is an inspiration and I hope our little girl comes out with no issues and can be happy and have a very happy and great life!

I just had my baby today at 26 weeks 6 days. However he’s measuring as a 28 week baby. They haven’t let me him yet cuz I tested positive for COVID. So that’s really sad. Your baby is so adorable 💙

God bless you little one 🙏
