Yes. I delivered at 32 weeks due to eclampsia. My daughter was 3lbs, had apnea, bradycardia, swallowing difficulties, vsd etc and now she Will be 11 years next month and she is perfect:) It's traumatic but he will be ok

28 weeks with my first. He's now 17yrs old doing amazing. 30 weeks with my second and he's 2 yrs old and perfect as well. I'm now 35 weeks pregnant and baby staying in. Premature Babies are strong and endure alot for being so tiny. Keep strong. Sing, talk, skin to skin and hold the baby as much as you can. This will help the baby grow even more strong.

Im sorry to hear about the rough pregnancy but I wish you and baby the best. This situation didn't personally happen to me but my niece just had a baby girl in October that was to be born in December and my niece recovered well and my great niece is a beautiful and perfect healthy little girl...she went from a small barely there peanut to a whopper...she's healthy and really thriving.

Hang in there...stay rested and strong...brighter enjoyable days with baby are coming soon. :-)
