premature babies

[Valerie1979]

Has anyone had a premature baby?
When were they born (what gestational age)? any medical complications, etc?

I had my son at 29 weeks 4 days so nearly 10 weeks early.  He is FINE -- completely normal developmentally, etc.  he did spend 6 weeks in the hospital after birth.

I am pregnant again - currently at 26 weeks 2 days - I have had a few extra precautions taken this time due to my history of premature birth but we'll see how long i can make it with this one

Best wishes to your second pregnancy! premature babies need special care usually but they develope fine eventually and most of them are very smart as adult.
