i dont have any issues dealing with the fact i had 3 premmies,maybe cos niesha was 35 weeks and didnt need to go to nursery and then with hunter i knew something was wrong and he would be safe before he arrived and with serenity i was in shock hoping id go longer but id done it all before so i was an old hand so it just seemed lilke no biggy to me.....i dont think id get a doll cos i like thinking she still small and my baby and it would show how much shes grown

I've heard so many stories of 35 weekers doing better and getting out of hospital faster than 36 weekers. Does anyone know why that is? I guess I've also heard of some 36 week babies popping out much, much bigger than Sam and not needing SCN at all... and it bugs me that Sam needed to be in there for so long... especially so when I realise he probably could have got out much quicker (and we may have been able to BF properly) if a stupid nurse hadn't put in an NG tube that was too short and probably caused us our biggest problems!

It all depends on baby, why they were prem, their size, whether steroids were given, ect ect. there are so so so many factors.
The following is statistics taken from Lil Aussie Prems, on gestation VS Hospital stay (I've taken out the babies names for privacy reasons) and it is still by far better to reach 36 weeks than what it is any less xxx

Great story
it sucks that they made you lie on the bed when I had niesha I was monitors but preferred being on all fours
Today is their EDD and theyre 6 weeks already.Now is pretty much our terrible hour when DS goes down at 7.30 and the girls decide its dinner time
Things are going well Im getting plenty of sleep I just wish it was easier to leave the house.
