My baby was born at 35 weeks about 2 weeks ago due to me having preeclampsia. He did very well you could almost not tell he was premature outside of him being 4 pounds 5 ounces. I am very happy with how lucky we got 🥰
My daughter Lilly was born premature. She was born at 33 weeks and 6 days. She was in baby unit for over a week, shes growing so well now bless her shes over 2 months old and gained a lot of weight.
@@DeepakDeepak-jf8ex my daughter weighed 5 pounds 5 ounzes when she was born. everyone was shocked a baby born early and weighs a healthy weight. she had some breathing problems when born thats why she had to be in special baby unit just for over a week. she weighed 6 pounds when she left the hospital. and now she is 4 months old and is growing well and weighs a healthy 11 pounds.
thank you for this video... my baby is born 6 weeks earlier...now i'm trying to educate myself on proper caring of him when he's home... now he's 1month 4days in NICU...hope to take him home soon
I was born 2 months before my actual due date since me and my mom were sick. Luckily she had gestational (I think) diabetes so I was 5 pounds. I have a slight deformity in my knees and teeth.
Well, isn't this baby, just the cutest little thing !! SOOOOOO CUTE and so tiny !! And it's so cute when he gets put on his little Tummy !! Tummy time is good for him cause it helps him to get exercise to his neck and back and arms !!! ( and his little legs too ) !!
My 29 weeker is currently in the NICU hoping for positive progress so that we can get an estimate on when he will be coming home. 🙏 best wishes and good vibes for your Baby and Family!
@@e2cooks my 29 weeker came home 2 weeks ago.we stayed at the nicu +room stay around 30 days.she is doing well now.but couldnt breastfeed her till she gain weight @2 k.g. please let me knoe your baby's progress Sry for my broken english.
I’m sure she was there just not all day. My baby didn’t have major complications or surgeries so I stayed 4 hours a day. I fed her, bonded with her, and did her vitals during my time there.
I hope my baby doesn’t come out unable to breath on her own. I just want to take her home right away. I’m scheduled to be induced on the 6th of November and she only weighs 4lbs 14oz. 4 more days and I don’t think she’s going to gain anything significant. I hope she’s at least 5lbs.
@@Jacayrie I was also a twin sadly my twin was a still born he passed at 21 weeks I was born at 24 weeks. I was also a c section baby except my lungs were underdeveloped. They later learned why my retina detached on my right eye is because they had me on 100% oxygen. I only weighed 1 pound 4 ounces and was 12 inches long when I was born. I spent my first 4 months in the nicu I was considered a micro preemie I had a lot of doctors visits and at one point had to be airlifted. At one point there was at least one of my many doctors that didnt think I would survive. I got to meet 2 of my night nurses a few years ago it was pretty cool to talk to them. And 19 years later I'm fine for the most part my lungs are underdeveloped and have scar tissue in them from getting pneumonia so often but as long as I keep my immune system strong I'll be fine. I get being scared because no one wants to have their baby in the nicu I doubt my parents wanted me in the nicu it just happens sometimes and it's just another thing in life you have to deal with.
i dilivered 31 weks... and my baby also in NICU its been 12 days already... 😢😢😢and i didnt hav a chance to hold him yet...ther are not allowing me... im just seing him in the window..
Ritchell Lozano My daughter delivered her breech baby girl at 27 weeks on NYE. I know it's hard, for the family hasn't had a chance to hold the baby. My daughter gets to hold her for 3 hours tonight! Stay strong!!
I would be interested in the evidence base for the "exercises". As an FYI...Its "normal" for most babies, even full terms, to have a rightward head turning bias. Its been studied extensively and is documented in the literature. Its theorized to be related to normal differences in the brain hemispheres and dominance differences. While positional asymmetries can certainly exacerbate head shape and contribute to functional asymmetry not all head turning preference is "caused" by the care.
Oh wow, you were so tiny, you must have been born very early. A friend's brother his baby girl came at 23 weeks 1.2 pounds a few weeks ago so you must have been right around there too. Im so glad to hear you are doing good, despite difficulty walking. But to come out strong from being such an extreme preemie you must be hell of highter.
My daughter born 24 weeks also in the mid 1999 weighing 680 grm (less than one kg), she had been in ICU for 65 days and they discharged about 2.50kg. Now she is 23yrs, she grew up very well never believing she was once a tiny or preterm babies but on the other hand she developed problems with her life since she reached at the age of 12. Like poor school studies and social anxiety althogh I blamed smart phone some of her failures. I hope all the parents a very good healthy children and I advice if somehow the baby can finish his 40 weeks in his mum belly is the best way to develop rather than ICU unless life saving necessary.
Surley if you was actually 7 months premature you wouldn't of survived? Because that means you had only developed for 3 months, my daughter was born 4 months premature, she was in the NICU for 3 weeks but she didn't make it, so i find that very hard to believe unless you was actually born at 7 months which means you would of been 3 months premature
@@rudramahida3889 weight is the issue i know...but atleast he is healthy hana...and he is with you...aur kya chahiye...i pray for him ki wo jaldi weight gain kre....but plz kya mein pooch skti hu ki wo itne jaldi kyu hua...
yes, you are correct....however, please consider the parent / caregiver that has little, if any basic knowledge of caring for a newborn. If someone seeking out information on a RU-vid video, and is now caring for a newborn, then the likelihood of having received any prenatal care is slim to none, and tummy time may be too advanced for that circumstance. It still amazes me how many give birth, without the most basic knowledge needed in doing so.
