Hi,
I had my last little girl at 37 weeks gestation (or so the doctors insisted) but she weighed only 5p5 when born and my midwife and i still say she was earlier than that...
My waters broke and i had to be induced 24 hours later,they had a ped on standby,but thankfully she was breathing and feeding fine...We got to go home on the 5th day,but her weight had dropped to 4p13 by then...
I had an u/s done two days before my water broke and she was measuring 31 w and 6 days on it,and my doctor told me she would only weigh about 4p at that stage,so we were happy she was a bit bigger....
It has taken her 3 years to sleep through the night,and she had to wear 00000 clothes at birth because she was only a tiny tot....
She still suffers problems with toilet training,and doesnt eat a terrible lot,but is very bright,talkative and smart toddler...Even though she is still tiny,at 10kgs,and still fits some size one clothes....(her tummy is too small often to keep size two clothes on!!)
I am hoping this baby is bigger and is born a bit later,as i cant take 3 years of nearly sleepless nights again!!!
Thanks for reading this!!!
