Totally off topic but Magicseahorse my DD was born 31+3 on the 3rd April 2007 lol

I have never "labelled" my DD as a premmie. Medically yes she is "labelled" but for me personally I don't like it. I never have! I never corrected her age because I didn't feel the need to. In our situation there was no warrent for the "label". In my eyes there were no complications with our DD other than her being early.

But then you take my sister who drives me daft with this very topic. She still refers to my nephew as an ex 30 weeker when he is now 8 years old. I have a major issue with this as my sister and her DH continually "hold"(for want of a better word) it against him. To me he is a normal 8 year old with a healthy appetite for life and a gorgeous sweet nature ( gee biased Aunty much lol) but to see his face when they start on about him not doing this or that or his attitude and that they think he has undiagnosed ADHD it breaks my heart UMMMM hello he is a normal 8 year old!
My niece on the other hand is an ex 26 weeker. She is a real crack up. She is a psycho 2 year old. She has her issues until recently she has had NGT but now a PEG for feeding. Weight issues and the like so yes I understand that she is still "labelled" as a premmie medically and you can see that she was premmie. Ok I've gone off on a tangent........................................... .................................................. ..
So I guess the whole point of my post is that medically probably for the rest of their life but personally it is your own decision. I don't go around telling people I just meet that this is my daughter she is an ex 31 weekers......hey isn't she doing great! It's more This is my Daughter...... she is 3. Ain't she just gorgeous!
