My great-nephew arrived at 30 weeks. He weighed 3 lb. 3 1/2 oz. He is now 31 and the dad of a healthy son. So thankful!

my friends baby boy was born at 25 weeks, we thought he wouldn't be born alive or even make a sound, that kid SCREAMED when he came out, like he came out kicking screaming and fighting from day 1, he screamed so loud we could hear him in the waiting room! hes now a happy healthy two year old toddler, running around, playing and laughing with no issues, a rare thing to happen with micro premie babies

😢😢😢 i wish had a happy story to tell like you my son was born at 24 weeks and died 18 days after 😞😞😞

[@betula-pendula]

​@@samuelcarter2376 I am so sorry to hear about that. So sad. Some childs are coming to earth just for a moment like they say: I am here, I exist, even if I lose my body. Think to me in love. Nobody is gone forever. The soul is immortal.

Im 17 weeks with a baby who is likely to be born small and with many struggles due to medications I can't safely be off of..... If her growth rate drops too low she may also be born early to give her a better chance.... This is my 5th. Iv never had a baby born before 38 weeks, and my smallest baby was 6.4 but that was before I needed this medication..... they tell me she will be smaller.... I'm so scared. This is her father's 1st and only child. All I can think is please don't let that be how he sees his daughter for the 1st time...... Please.
