People have NO IDEA about the impact of prematurity! A friend put a FB status up "My cousin's wife is about to have her baby at 28wks"

Someone commented "Woo, hope all goes well"

Umm, there is nothing "Woo" about a premmie baby.. Unless they meant "Whoa"??

Then my friend updated and said the bub had been born weighing 750gms but Mum and bub doing well and someone commented "Glad bubs is well, tiny bubba's are so cute"

There is nothing cute about a 750gm baby! It's scary and traumatising. I know I am probably over reacting, but seriously people have NO CLUE. I remember when I had my boys someone said, wow a short pregnancy, I'm jealous!

The impact prematurity has on the whole family is, well, traumatising, even if the baby does survive. (which at 28wks there is a good chance of)

Ok vent over.. Sending lots of love to this family xxxx
