Dior's Journey | Preemie Born at 23 Weeks

We put this video together to celebrate Dior's first birthday. Our special baby girl born at 23 weeks gestation. She spent 157 days in the NICU. It was a long and scary 157 days NICU stay. We are thankful for all the support we received and blessed to have our happy, healthy little girl.

When I was a student nurse in NICU, l was assigned to participate in the care of mico premature boy. He came into this world at 9oz. I could hold his head on my fingers and his bottom in the palm of my hand. He was totally negligenced the first 3 days of life because he had not been expected to live. When we were rotated to another hospital I could not follow his care. I often send a prayer up that he is doing well. 😊😊😊

My cousin's friend (and obv my friend) had a baby at 22 weeks last month and they're obviously still in the NICU. I hope for them that they can bring their baby home soon like you and the baby won't suffer any lasting effects 😍 Here in the United Kingdom, 35% of babies born at 22 weeks survive, 38% at 23 weeks, and 60% at 24 weeks. I find it interesting yet tragic how for some reason a preemie's survival rate is so much lower in the USA.

[@Bubzietown]

Depends on where you’re getting your stats.. some studies have the us preemies@ 22 weeks it’s 28% and 23 weeks 55%. Also, this mom was giving a specific survival stat for HER baby, not the average for all babies in the US.

[@meghanh2511]

@@Bubzietown I got my stats from my/my cousin's friend who got them from her doctor. And even with your percentages they're still lower than in the UK so I'm not sure why you felt the need to add those as it's useless and meaningless information to add to my comment. And I was talking about MY FRIEND'S baby because you know, this is the internet where people share THEIR OWN stories. Geez, lighten up a little.
