Neurodevelopment of Preterm Babies 

It’s worth noting that I have never experienced any major physical health problems throughout my life. I did when I was a newborn, but those issues (such as a brain hemorrhage) were resolved promptly through medication and constant care. I have really only struggled with mental health problems, such as anxiety. Needless to say, I had minor developmental issues regarding how I learned. Even now at 22, I still feel like I have ways to go before I reach some level of “adulthood”.

Hi, your story is really interesting, I was also born prematurely I was born at 34 weeks and weighed 1 kg at birth, I’m 17 right now, but I just wanted to ask if you had problems with delayed puberty and height because that’s what I’m experiencing right now, and it would be nice if you can explain your physical growth timeline as well.🙃

@@HasanABader Hey! Fortunately I never had problems with delayed puberty. I experienced all of those...female "milestones" at pretty normal ages (first period at 13, stuff like that). It may be that your experience is due more so to genetics than to your premature birth? As for my physical growth timeline...well, I don't have every single detail. But growing up, my doctors told me that I was actually growing just fine for my birth weight (1.5 lbs, about 0.68 kg). So, although I was always short, I was growing at a rate that was in the normal range for someone born at 24 weeks at a low birth weight. I'm 5'1 now, and I know people shorter than me who were born full term. :)

@@HasanABader I do think the height thing also has genetic factors. I know people who were born in the NICU with me who are much taller than me!

@@sbernstein thank you appreciate it alot 🙃

I was 27 wks. Now I am 50. Every body in my family was embarrassed to admit too prideful to admit someone in our family shite out a retard. So even when confronted with a yes or no "am I retarded?" No answer given. I wasn't potty trained till I was five. Only half way "there" living in a dream state till 14 or 15. Some noises and beats make me disconnect, like I can't hold on. The whole sensory issues. Smell touch sound. Glad to finally get validation. In 1992 I tried to get a pass to college math from algebra because the steps wouldn't stay strait...like the mini blinds wouldn't stay strait....she looks sideways at my beautiful face and declares it doesn't look mishapen (it is) and I don't appear to be limited in the written word so algebra shouldn't be an issue. Time span, holding on to several steps... Guess what, that instructor wanted me to do good, I ran out of class crying as soon as he turned his back... But he passed me.

I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

Also me but I have had difficults

Also me but I have hard difficults in studying

Hey dude I'm 43 just now realizing why I am the way I am. I understand your writing way too much. Like the way you compartmentalize a section by separating the different diagnosis. It would have been nice if someone had of guided us thru the b's parts.

Dang I was 6.4 months and I have the same issues. Didn't know I could be cause of that

hey how is your social life do you go out eat and drink ?

@@harshityerram8966 sometimes but it's usually more of a hassle than it's worth

I am so sad to hear that ,I am a student of nutrition and dietetics, and digging deeper into this topic currently, please talk to doctors and consultant who are specialized on such conditions , Educating yourselves as parents will be the greatest thing to help your child with, the UNICEF and WHO provide great PDFs about infants and preterm babies you may look at them. You are a great mother and you are so strong ,He will be okay with appropriate medical care and with you he will be better because you are doing your best ❤️

Omg I’m so sorry to hear that and you made me so scared right now I was also born prematurely at exactly 34 weeks and I weighed 1kg I am 17.7 years old right now and I’m scared.

@@HasanABader you should be fine. I am 18 and I'm okay

Am studying medical laboratory science

Fr?

Every human goes through problems, and no one asked to be born. Accept this, and you will find peace. Life was never intended to be fair.

Its 50 50 some have little to no problems.

@@TheAaronChand i understand what you're saying, but I agree with Brandon Gellegos. It's beyond bullshit being born very prematurely. A lot of us don't think straight, can't regulate emotions properly, struggle to socialize. I don't want to hear that 'everyone has problems'. For most people, those problems are something they had at least partial control over. This is not the case with premature babies. We are handicapped from the get go. Go fuck yourself with your acceptance peace bullshit. It's not grounded in reality. Have a nice day.

Yeah I got born in the 34 weeks now I have a little bit of autism and asthma and I have speech problems when I was young took me 8 years to learn good English but for some reason I have A and B in my grades and I still have speech problems I stutter lol

@@jacobbrewer6402 I was not premature but have so many similar problems .. I used to blame it on my parents pretty neglectful parenting due to depression. Now I think its a mix of that and genes unfortunately. Hope I can do better for my baby

Naeem Rohiman there is no rly?
