Premature Baby Alfie Arrives Three Months Early | Tiny Lives Series 2 | BBC Scotland 

Wow what amazing outcomes , I had twins boy/girl born 3 1/2 months early. My son lived for 7 days passed a day after my birthday, but his sister is a big fighter she is 34 days old! Praying to get to months. Cpap is helping her lungs… this is truly a game changer, but God has my baby girl.

I was two months premature myself. I weighed 3lbs 4 oz. My mother had three miscarriages prior to my birth. I am 79 years old and am doing the best I can for myself one day at a time.

I am 61 yes old and was born at 30 weeks , I suffered no disabilities. Miracles do happen!

A friend of mine gave birth to her daughter 3 months earlier. When the baby was born all her organs showed underneath her skin. Her buttocks were in the palm of a human hand and little tiny feet reaching a human wrist. She was fed with a doll bottle. Today Ms. “Know it all” 😄 is 25 years old, on high heels 👠 and a Lawyer!!! Alfie will follow the same path by the grace of God.

The nurses and doctors in there are amazing I've just experienced our wee little baby girl being in neo natal in wishaw. I'll tell you now me and my fiance cannot thank them enough they are angels in blue. Our government need to support our health service they don't realise how special they all are cannot pick a fault with any of them. The support they gave us was incredible and I will never forget any of them they will always have a place in both our hearts. Everytime I look at my baby girl they will always be in my thoughts. Thank you every single one of you if I could afford to pay a wage rise for you all I would do it in a heartbeat.

I gave birth at 27 weeks to a 2pd babygirl she's 14 now in thriving keep your faith 🙏

My baby born at 26w 730g. My son same as Alfie. His heartbeat drop to 50 at 2nd day of life but they manage to revive but his IVH getting worse. Doctor calling us to come to see him because they afraid he couldn't make it. I'm crying very bad but I don't want him suffered. I thought i need to let him go. But God faith.. he become stable day by day.. he's a miracle from god. now he's 7m CA 4m.. watching Alfie like watching my son 7m back. They are real fighter and miracle.

I was born three months early. Can’t imagine how my parents must have felt.

Sitting there watching your baby breathing one breath at a time , Hugs pray for the best for him

My Grandson was born at week 25. Weighing 1 lbs and 13 Oz. He will be 10 years old this month and no disabilities ❤❤❤❤.

They are getting more clever at keeping babies this early alive now. That is very good news..👍

What a blessing!! Such a beautiful story about a beautiful baby.

Alfio you are a wonderful fighter!❤❤❤

My baby was 29 weeks and 600 ounces my heart went out to these parents my baby was also in hostpital for 3 months well done for being so strong i

My brother born 2 months early now a PhD in Anthropology professor. He and mom had that Rh factor thing.

He is gorgeous

I admire my mom and all parents who go through this. I was born 1 mth premature at 3lbs 6 oz. I was in the NICU for 1 mth. I was my mom's first child and she was living in a different country to her parents. She's told me how guilty she felt when I was born. I'm crying as I see this mom's tears. I'm now an elementary/middle school music teacher. I'm so thankful for my mom, my dad, and the nurses and doctors who took care of me. Thank You God for Your gift of life!

While I’m watching this baby 😢I can see myself in what I had to go through just to stay alive. Bless you 🙏❣️ wee man x

I had my twins at 27 weeks they were 2.2 each and they will be 21 in April

😢😢😢 This is such a flash back. ❤ Love and 🙏 payers to you all.

I was born 33 weeks premature with a grade 4 intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. This led me to be in the NICU for a month as I needed neurosurgery and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. My two older brothers weren’t even allowed to visit me in the hospital because of the RSV that was going around the doctors were afraid that I could get it from them and get sick. I’m 25 years old now.

Thanks for being the guardian angels!❤

I was born at 27 weeks, 3 months in icu, was on my deathbed . Went through this two. Bless 🙏 😢 I was born in Arbroath Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I can't imagine how terrifying it must be to have your baby or child in the ICU. Total respect to the parents, family, nurses & doctors of these precious little ones. My deepest sympathies to the people who have lost their precious little ones.

He is so lovely !

May he live a long and happy life!

I've been through this. My oldest daughter was 3lbs when I had her, stayed in the hospital for two months.

Baby is a gem ❤️ god bless you little angel 🙏

I to had a premature baby at 25-week gestation he was 1lb. 13 ounces My son died at 35 years old from heart and lung disease 3 years ago. They say a result of prematurity. So, I know oh to well what these parents are going through. Just take it 1 day at a time and have faith. It's all you can do right now.

Well Done. He is a beautiful Child x

We can thank God for keeping His hand over baby Alfie and pulled him through i just hope that parents of baby Alfie thank and praise God

Thank you God.... I feel so happy for that small and so pure and tiny soul & best wishes to those Doctors, teams & of course those life supporting machines & brave parents as well. God is Really Really so Great... Just do your Good karma

my babygirl born at 23w 540g. and drop to 470g.today she is 2.8kg.after 3m.this is miracle❤.

Lots of prayers

God bless!

I’m 66and also was born. 1 . 3 oz I have a normal life and am not a small at 5ft 10 inch .

Previous! Hope Alfie is doing well!

God bless those parents. I don't quite know how I would handle that, but I guess ya just have steel yourself and push through the stress and fatigue. I mean one little infection could send a little one so small to being back on a ventilator. I personally have not had any children, but just think about "the miracle of childbirth ". Darn right it is because look at how many things have to go right to have a full term healthy baby. I really look up to women that have preemies and special needs children...they are heroes in my book

Sherim te shpejte te dhente zoti baby ❤❤❤

My son was 8wks early and arrived via C-section. He was immediately wisked away from us and went to the NICU. The nurse was so freaking mean to me for literally no reason. She wouldn't roll my bed down to him or vise versa. She said I had to get up and walk there which I couldnt do. It took a long time for the epidural to wear off and after it did, I was in so much pain and wasnt given anything for it. An hour after he was born, she came to try to get me in a wheelchair but I was still numb and paralyzed and she put in my chart that I "denied" to go see my son. That all traumatized me so much that I never went on to have any more kids. Being sliced open from hip to hip and Pulling a baby out is really really painful! It always left me with such bad anxiety for surgeries I have endured and will endure in the future!

May YAHweh bless and keep you and your family, Sweet Baby. And give you His Peace. And fortitude for your mama to take care of you. May you grow from strength to strength. ❣🧸❣🧸❣🧸❣🧸

Бідолашні дітки малесенькі сонечки проходять такі іспитанія жалко діток Боже милосердний бережи всіх діток на цей землі 😢

O Poder de Deus,o milagre da vida. Lindo🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼

I'm constantly amazed by what modern medicine can do, and also by what it can't do.

Praise God

My baby girl was born at 27 weeks she weighed 900 grams she 19 month now and a little terrorist i have pic off her in the nicu on the wall to remind me how tiny she was and how lucky I am to have her ❤

😢

Those little lips❤

Let it go. Move on. Rest in peace

Маленький сили тобі бажаю малесеньке життя

I'm empathetic to every parent and each one of us has to do what we feel is right and they're strong ppl. Myself, as much as I "loved" and "wanted" my little baby I hope to somehow find the strength to spare my child what will be the most agonizing torturous pain known to human life. With technology today it's possible to keep any life form alive and growing I don't have the strength to watch my baby go through this.

🤗🤗🧸🧸🙏💖💖💖

I gave birth 26 weeks baby kept in nicu 21 days than he got stomach digestion problme heis no more😢

Let go. Unplug and go to break. Bye. Bye. Move on.

DUDE IT’S JULIANA DE PERIO

As infants are dumb and newborns even dumber I can imagine how broken the baby was.

I am premature

Man muss nicht alles aufpäpeln

I was born 2 weeks late, which gave me more strength and size. The only difference between me and other people are that my shoulders are bigger and I’m taller than almost everyone I know.

My daughter was born early and she is a grown woman 38.. LoL I'm old I'm a fossil.. I'm so old I'm farting dust..

Watching these stories, it's troubling to see that so many believe babies are just fetuses at this age & right to abort a healthy baby after 24 weeks is OK. I so wonder what parents of micro-premies think regarding abortion after such gestational age when there's no fetal abnormality. (The uproar in America right now as I been looking re premie babies).

Sad society thinks killing the unborn child is a right. God will set to you straight

His love is unconditional, his love is real, his love is unfailingly, he saves from spiritual, physical and eternal death. He is the only God that forgives and forgets, he gives a new beginning. Come and taste that the Lord is good. Jesus love you and me! Give him a chance, even again! Rom 8:38-39, Psalm 33:5

Having babies when your older isnt fair on the children. Especially if they have life long disabilities or the parents pass away before the child turns of age.

Sometimes it’s not meant to be, and they should take it as gods sign that they were not meant to have a baby at that time. And in that they will find peace ❤

I'm not trying to offend anyone BTW I'm not racist but the parents are white.. and the baby is black..?

Glad little Alfie is doing good 🙏♥️ Still, looking at his mother I'm asking meself- why getting pregnant when your that overweight? The risks are well known. Get yourself and your body in shape before you try and get pregnant.

Маша старая, с лишним весом, диабет наверняка, вот и не доносила.
