12 weeks premature

[serenamontana]

My son is 12 weeks premature he was born at 25weeks 5days. Has anyone else had experience with preemies? If so how premature?

He was only 1lb 11oz when he was born and today he hit 3lbs.  He's grown so much and even though hes still tiny I was so happy today to see him get to 3lbs

Stay strong !!! It will be hard but you have to try to stay positive , I was always mad and unhappy , and would always say ( why me )  I had good days and bad but it is all worth it in the end , you get to see his cute face everyday he will grow strong !!!! My daughter was a fighter she is now an active toddler , believe me they grow fast !!!!
Good luck and congrats on your little precious baby

I bet. :( well he is doing well so look at the bright side .. everything will be okay.. not the first one out there to survive ! Be positive

His gestational age would be 33 weeks today and so far so good.  Its the absolute worst feeling in the world having your child in the NNICU for several months. He's seven weeks old and is just starting to learn how to breathe. I'm at the halfway point of him being in the NNICU and its still unbaravle to handle sometimes.  I even get upset with people I know and just strangers who are eight or nine months pregnant and i only got to experience six months

Aw god bless your little angels I hope that eventually they get strong and healthy!  Breastfeed if u can.
