i don't think you're over-reacting at all, sadly i think people are extremely naive about babies born early. i think because of the advances we've had in technology and knowledge, they must assume that if babies are born, they will survive. but the reality is, premature babies are extremely fragile, and all the technology and knowledge in the world still isn't a guaruntee they will survive your poor friend, i really hope her bubba pulls through, she will probably have a long and tough road ahead of her xxx
Blessed, you're not over reacting hun, coming from a very dark place only you know what that feels like. I totally agree with mummydreamer, lots of people think that once bub is born all will be OK. I don't think there are many people out there saying, well it's 26 weeks, whoa that's touch and go, and hmm, bub was born at 29 weeks so that's much better etc. They have no idea of what is on the other side of having a premmie bub. As you know I had Josh at 21 weeks and I knew he had no chance whatsoever, but then I spoke to the OB and he said had he been born a few weeks later is still wouldn't have guaranteed a good outcome. GL to your friend hun, I hope bub keeps getting stronger and stronger.
