Thanks Jodi & Madsmum for your encouragement & well wishes, and thankyou Alan for your words of experience!
We are just waiting by the phone now, its hard cos we aren't even in the same state!
A friend of mine 4 or 5 weeks ago had her baby at 30 weeks and she is doing well i think she was about 1400g at birth she has been moved to a closer hospital and doing really well.
My son was born at 33weeks and he weighed 2296grams which was quiet big for his gestation.
2kg sounds like a great size for a 31weeker i remember the paed advising me before Nixon was born at 33wks average size is 1.8-2.2kg so sounds like her bub is grwoing well.
My son needed help breathing and was ventillated for this.
If she was in labour for some time they may have even given her steriod injections which helps bubs lungs.
bub will be in a humidi crib as he/she probably wont be able to maintain body temperature just yet.
Most likely have jaundice and need a little photo therapy.
i hope they are both doing well and let us know how things went
Thanks allgirls and nickers...
SIL is going ok (as far as I know) she's still in labour, had some pethidene to get some sleep, and bub has had 2 steriod injections. The drs seem happy with that. Now they are just deciding whether or not to put her on the synto drip to speed things up... will keep you posted.
My friend had her little man at 32 weeks in January & he is doing so well now, just had his 6 month check up on Monday & he is perfect. He was in the NICU for about 2.5 weeks & then transferred to SCN for about the same time & went home when he would have been 37 weeks.
