Hi,
I would like to chat with and share experiences with others that are or have parented a preemie... my son is 5wks old, born on valentines day, he was 7wks early and spent 2wks in the nicu... he is just now getting into newborn clothes... it has been very stressful so far but I am sure he will be worth it. How was your guys' experience with your preemie? is there anything I should be watching out for... ? From what the hospital said they are not expecting any delays in him and he passed the hearing/sight tests... and there are no other health problems that we know of.
thanks!

My ex-g/f is a NICU nurse. I learnd a lot from what she told me. She has a son who was a prenature, and he turned out jut fine. Even plays football, and is a very gifted athelete, and learning comes easily to him. 23 weeks is the earliest a preemie can survive. So at 33 weeks your child should be able to live a normal live. I lead a relatively normal life I was not a preemie but had other health issues to contend with. I'd have a total normal life if I drove, I choose not to.

Cool that's awesome! I am pretty sure he will be fine but it's still hard to think he COULD have issues later because of his early birth
