| Nicholas was born at 27 weeks 3 days. My twins were at 35 weeks (which is very normal) I have a lot of friends with twins and triplets and I think the longest anyone went was 37 weeks. |

| My twins were only in the NICU 1 week. They came home without problems. Nicholas was born at 27 weeks and was in the hospital for 8 weeks. We have had to deal with eye issues with him, including outpatient surgery, and he now has to wear glasses |

Jeffrey was 9 weeks and 2 days early.
I'm grateful that he did so well in NICU despite a very rough first 3 days.
He was feisty and sweet from the very beginning and was the "favorite" of lots of the nurses.We just had his first birthday and one of his nurses came to celebrate with us!

| My son was born 6 weeks early but only weighed 2 lbs 7 ozs (size of a 28 week gest.) He was in the NICU for 4 weeks (longest 4 weeks of my life). He was never on any oxygen or monitors only those to keep him warm and his vitals. We mostly battled him learning to drink from a bottle and hold his temp. He came home weighing only 3 lbs 9 ozs. He is now 4 years old and the only problems we have is his weight. He only weighs 25 pounds. I personally think that comes from his daddy because his daddy was also a tall skinny dude. GOD is SO GOOD!!! |

WHAT STAGE OF NEC? DID HE NEED A COLOSTOMY, OR INFECTIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY SON HAD THE 5% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL ... THATS WHAT THEY SAID, .
NEVER IGNORE THE GUT FEELING OF A MOM WHO NEVER STOPS BELIEVING, AFTER ALL ISN'T EVERYONE OF US REAL LIFE MIRACLES |

The NEC caused some restrictions so they had to do surgery to fix them. After almost three months we were finally home!

| My daughter was born at 33 weeks, and had no real problems save mild apnea for a week or two. She never learned to latch on (apparently, it's one of the last things to develop), but with pumping, she still had (supplemented) breast milk, and today is a healthy preschooler. |
