#3 James Boardman: Growing up following premature birth

[@umibrahimibrahim4966]

This is perfectly true in every sense. M daughter was born 32 weeks. Drs said she didn't need an incubator. Yes, she looked fine... but she wasn't; in a few weeks she ended up in intensive care followed by a few years of health problems.

I am a premature baby, and I might seem as normal, but my brain doesn't work the same as non-prem babies. I also have health problems too. Stay strong preemies ❤

Its something people don't understand. Was born preterm. My brain doesn't work the same either. From the outside, no one would know. ❤

I was born 3 months early in July 1983 and weighed 2lbs., 2oz. 💜 #preemiepower

Here in Nigeria,Premature children are undermined and treated badly . They aren’t understood ..

Especially in schools

[@kailashpatel1706]

premature birth is linked to poor mathematical abilities..
