How exciting for you, both of mine were born at 34 weeks. Sean was 4lb 4oz and Tasha 4lb 15oz, but within months they were the same as full term babes and no one realised that they'd been so little. As for now ...

Congrats and just breathe!

luv 'Bella :rolleyes:

How lovely, do you know what you are having ?

Always think that the best time is when they put baby into your arms it's worth all the pain and worry.

Getting all mushy think its so sweet, making me feel jealous you are so lucky my child bearing days are all over ............ think the old man would kill me if I said I was expecting again :hidesbehindsofa:

Let us all know when the nappy event happens

lots of babies are born at your gestation. Relax, let the staff do what they need to and if the baby comes early it needs to be , nature is wonderful. If it is not time yet ( you produce amniotic fluid all the way through pregnancy) then the staff will monitor you for signs of infection and only deliver you if they feel your baby would be better off out. Relax and enjoy the prospect that you may meet your son or daughter sooner than you think!!! Good luck with everything and let us know how it all goes,
MASSIVE Reiki hugs to you , Jane x

Hi Tracy. I guess you must be in shock with all this going on. Try not to worry too much. Your bubba is a good weight so even if she is early she'll be fine. Keep us up to date with what happens. Take care xxxxx

Try not to worry too much. My brother's oh went into hospital when her waters went early, had the steroids etc, and had twins a day later at 33 weeks this week. They were ventilated for 24 hours but were fine and came of it the next day. As there were two of them they were small and will have to stay in SCBU for 4 - 7 weeks. But they're thriving so I am optimistic and think they may be able to come home after a few weeks.

I'm sure you and your daughter will be ok. And every labour is different, so the second time round it's probably completely different than the first time.

Finally got home on Thursday evening after being in hospital for 13 days. She is 2 weeks old now but still so tiny. She is taking well to her milk. Her feeds now take 20 min instead of an hour. She is more alert now. She would be 36 weeks now too. So happy to be home. It was very hard in hospital, had my ups and downs but now trying to get her and Brother into a routine now. Will try download a photo at some point.

Good luck Kerrie.. all will be fine! x

Hi Tracy

How did I miss this??? Congratulations on the arrival of your little angel Brianna (lovely choice of name!). So glad all is now going well - not an easy start, but everything seems to be settling OK now. Thanks for the updates.

Wishing you all the best and big hugs :hug:!

Thank you everyone for your replies. Hubby back to work today so will see how I will manage. Not that bad am looking forward to some sort of routine now. Managing to get broken sleep as have to set alarm to wake baby. She will be waking me up sooner than I think as she is demanding more milk from me. Obviously a growth spurt. She is nearly 3 weeks old now.
