Hun I get that too, Jett is tiny!! He'll be 6 months old next week and weighs 4.3kgs! So technically underweight for his adjusted age too..It's not always easy, but when you tell the story say it with a smile, tell them she's your miracle baby and how blessed you are to have her in your arms.. That's what I do..

Also I feel better saying 'adjusted' age rather than 'corrected' If your correcting something it means it was wrong. My baby is not wrong he was just early.. I got this analogy from a wise friend who had 27week twins.. I never say 'corrected age'
Actually, you have a point there will be referring to it as adjusted age from now on.

You're all right. I didn't do anything wrong. My body had developed a serious life threatening disease, which was so close to killing us both. But my miracle baby survived. And so did I.

I shouldn't be afraid to tell the birth story or tell people why she resembles a newborn at 4months old. But I am. It's lke re living it all again. I am still not 'over' the PTSD surrounding the birth of Amelia and the events leading up to it. One minute I was fine, driving DH to the airport, and that same day I had an OB appt, whisked me to local hospital, then off to KEMH at around lunchtime, then she was ripped from my body at 10:43 that same night. Without DH.

How do I summarise that without people asking more questions ?
