Sorry Dianne - but if you friend believes this rubbish then she is not a very smart woman. Firstly the bub is nearly full term.... therefore it cannot be Prem. There is no way a full term baby can weigh a tiny 900gms. How the hell does a 900gm nearly full term baby survive of "Human Fat" .... what the hell is that anyway, a 900gm baby would have NO fat stores.
If she is indeed nearly full term then there is no reason why she cannot give birth at geelong (they take babies over 34 weeks?).
I was prem at 34 weeks and mums placenta was nothing more than a shrivelled grey ball I was basically starving and I STILL weighed 6lb 10oz ......
My 24 weeker was 577gms - so This couple from WA either have their information COMPLETELY wrong OR they are scam artists and I smell a scam. If she already had premmie babies she would have stuff!
I'd be inclined to print this up for your friend to read, I think she is being had!
I'd encourage her to help out by being there to support these people BUT she should NOT invest any money whatsoever.

I am getting 5 from a 1+1 sum, definately does not add up!
I agree, complete rubbish! With dd it was discovered at 36 weeks that my placenta had started to fail and bub had stopped growing. They sent me in for a c-section straight away, no wait and see, no scans each week. There's no way they would have let me go to full term when bub wasn't being fed! She was 2.8 kg at birth and HUNGRY poor little poppet!
900g is insane!! Sounds like a very cruel scam to me.
When i had my lil man 10wks early there was a baby in the humidicrib next to my lil man that was born at 36wks and she was only 1100g the drs said it was IUGR and she now has autism shes a gorgeous lil girl my lil man and sophie went to the same preschool
No way would any care provider let woman whose baby was that small and placenta flow that bad leave the hospital let alone leav the state. Something is very off about this.
