    A friend of mine had her baby at 24 weeks and he survived. He spent 4 months in hospital. He's doing well now.

    Hi Simone - Like you I had bleeding and contractions, but at 28 weeks. Unfortunately I didn't realise that the contractions were actually labour and they were unable to stop the labour. My bubs was born at 28.6 weeks.
    We were in hospital for for about 9-10 weeks. We were very lucky, Kyla was 1.4kg which was good for the gestation and was only on CPAP for 4 days. She had jaundice and was under lights on and off. They start the baby on a saline type solution through IV prior to commencing EBM very slowely.
    It's a very stressful time, but as you can see from my ticker, Kyla is now going great guns.
    It's great that the labour was stopped-you now just have to tell that little bubba of yours to hold on for a little bit longer. However if things don't go as planned, rest assured that the care in hospital is very good.
    Look after yourself, keep rested and I really hope that your little one stays put for at least a few weeks longer.
