Hi there,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My twins were born at 31 weeks, but my son had stopped growing at 29 weeks. Their birth weights were 1402(son) and 1800g (daughter). They had a 10% and 20 % chance of survival. My son was rushed to the Children's Hopsital NICU with HMD and all other complications resulting in the fact that everything had stopped developing after 29 weeks. My daughter stayed in special care in the same hospital as I was at.

Well after several surgeries, and many ups and downs they will be two next week. My son is huge! He is now about 14kg and on the 90% for growth. My daughter is about 12kg and is normal for weight. Not bad seens they wore out their prem clothes.

It took them unitl they were about 18months old before they even got on the growth charts and now they are nearly off them the other end .

Just wanted to give assurance to others that even thought their kids may be small now, they can still catch up. The Docs believe that my son will end up being around 6ft 6 from the tests they did. When he was born his beanie baby was bigger than him.

So miracles do happen, and I am now a non believe of statistics for survival. But I guess they have to prepare you for the worse.

Take care
Odette
