I had a premature birth 9 years ago, with a little boy born at just 30 weeks. He weighed 2lb 8oz. He spent 6 weeks in intensive care and then came home. He is now coming up to 10 and is doing absolutely fine. I had another premature birth 2 years ago at 32 weeks with another little boy. He weighed 3lb 9oz. He was very poorly and we spent another 6 weeks in hospital. He was also born with the hsv 2 virus so we have spent countless nights in hospital since but he is 2 next week and is also doing well. I have 5 children in all - 2 boys both of which was prem and also 3 girls. I am currently 5 months pregnant with my 6th child who is also another little boy - as you can imagine, I am very apprehensive as my boys have all come early but what will be will be. My boys are doing very well considering what they have been through. It is a very scary and horrible thing to go through, having a premature baby, but the outcome can also be amazing. I have so much sympathy for anyone that has been or is currently going through this. My heart goes out to everyone who has been there and not had such great outcomes. I am so glad that Born Too Soon are here to help people and share other people’s stories - it’s fantastic.
