re: 22 week preemie

Quoting Elliot Grace's Mama:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Michael Westen:</b>" DD was 4 lbs 9 oz when we left the hospital! That's crazy!!"</blockquote> Was she early!!"

Nope. 9 days overdue actually!! I didn't show at all till I was 32 weeks. Nobody knew I was even pregnant (and I was in FL and wore a bikini all the time) When I had her my stomach didn't protrude out any farther than my boobs.

I had a friend who had her son at 26 weeks. I had my daughter at 31 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. But 26 weeks is the earliest I have heard.

My freak of nature twin!!!

<blockquote><b>Quoting Carla DiFiore:</b>" O wow thats heart breaking go through all that. She one strong woman for sure keep having babies."</blockquote>



Well it was less her choice to keep having babies and more just her catholic fear of birth control. Her first three children all survived but they were so close in age. Her first was born, then 11 months later her second, and ten months later her third. Sonhe had three children under 22 months. Then she had a miscarriage her first preemie (the one who didn't survive), then another surviving child (my mom), then another miscarriage and her first still born, then her second preemie (my uncle Tom) then her last and latest miscarriage and her second still birth, 35 weeks, after which she hemmoraged (sp) and had to have an emergency hysterectomy. She was 27 at the tiime. She and my grandfather had gotten married when they were 16(her) and 18(him).

My daughter came home @ 4lbs 1oz...my nicu just has to see constant weight gain for 3 days straight if there are no other issues left.

Quoting Lyric Rose's Mommy!!!:" I had a friend who had her son at 26 weeks. I had my daughter at 31 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. But 26 weeks is the earliest I have heard."

When I had my son at 34 weeks there was a 23 weaker in the nicu and the baby was so tiny and had so many tubes coming out of her it was hard to see the little baby in all of them but the mother and I still speak and her daughter survived but she spent months in the NICU before she went home and still has breathing issues because of all the tubes and what not caused scar tissue.

That has to be a lie. I just had my baby last week at 25 weeks and 2 days and he can breathe on his own but not deep enough to sustain hisself so he has a breathing tube. He has to be in the nicu until march which was his due date. Your due date can't possibly be that far off. Why lie about something like this??

Maybe the mom is having severe ppd and doesn't want to come to terms with the fact her child didn't survive or is still in the nicu. Sounds like a psychological issue to me.

All pregnancies aren't the same but 22 weeks is impossible for a baby to be breathing on their own

Lol I can't she got mad at me and deleted the post. I might be able to find a pic on her fbook. Hold on. Also, I stand corrected, he was born with no medical problems and less than 4 weeks later was discharged according to her. Bull crap. She has to be confused. She said he was 1lb 14oz

There is NO WAY a 26 weeker would be so totally okay it could be sent home. It would be like, 3lbs or less. "</blockquote>



Exactly, but according to her the baby had no medical problems....she's a military wife and this was on a mil wife page. She is an admin on there and deleted the post as soon as I started questioning her. Ppl were buying her clothes, diapers and so on!

Same here! I just had my 3rd preemie yesterday at 29 weeks. My others were 28 and 30. I've seen my own daughters journies along with others and she is full of crap. I know too much to believe it. Sad thing is is she has ppl believing her and buying stuff for him and feeling all bad.

Is there a medical reason you keep having preemies?

Lol one lady even replied to her claiming to be born at 18 weeks herself. How are ppl so dumb?
