Just a question

Thats why I am so greatful, I got 12 days with my babies.. I did get lots of cards and gifts.. I must admit though, I got more symapthy cards when they died, than I did cards when they were born

I think a card would be cool

I was a 26 weeker (and about that weight too!) in the 80s and these days there is a very good chance. Esp if he is breathing well on his own.

Like above, I didn't get anything when P was born (okay she wasn't prem so it probably wasn't nessecary anyway), but if I were a Mum of a premmie I'd probably be feeling very alone - like I know my Mum did with me - and any support, even in a card, would be great.

I would keep to it a card with a lovely message, and perhaps a journal/diary that they can write down their journey, coming home with bunches of flowers and ballons and the like with no baby at home with you is really hard..... especially seeing them each day on returning from the hospital ...... and perhaps do more as time goes on.

I love the idea of a journal!!!!!!!!!! A great keepsake, whatever the outcome.. (which I am praying will be good )

Please know that the family are in my thoughts.. Such a scary time.. Stay strong little man!!

Yep definitely card, flower ect. Doesn't matter whether baby was born early or at term, point is it's a life that is worth celebrating.

Hope her bub does well

So far so good. bub is doing well.. he is on a ventilator and has a mild infection in his umbilical cord.. The mum is most likely going home tomorrow
