My friend just delivered her son. She was 29 weeks along but he was measuring 24. Born at 1 lb 15 oz. I don't know much more but prayers are appreciated. I feel horrible that she has to join us. :-(

Bromios I said the same. My son was smaller than many of the 31 weekers I hear about but did amazing!!!

T&Ps. Keep us posted if you can.

I will. I haven't heard back from her (not surprising. We all know how crazy/traumatic the first hours are) but when I hear I'll let you know!

Prayers! I agree that GA is most important, many times those IUGR little ones do even better because they had stress in utero. One of my twins measured about 2 weeks behind but acted more like his actual GA.

Thoughts and prayers! My 29 weeker was small like that and she did amazing. Hope the same for your friend!

No update just yet. I know she started to go into hellp and they delivered by emergency c. I know how hard these first days are so I'm not going to bother her but I'll keep you updated!

my thoughts and prayers are with your friend and her family this time I know it's tough but tell her to hang in there.

update.... the little guy is doing awesome! He's already off clap and onto a nasal cannula! she got to do kangaroo for 50 minutes until his temps dropped but they both seem to be doing well. He is still losing weight (which we all know how scary that is when there isn't much to lose) but her milk is coming in so she's excited about that. She had some complications after her c-section (a lot of lost blood and some trapped air) but she is doing better. I've been offering her as much mental and emotional support as possible and linked to the preemie "what can i do for a friend? and what not to say" page and she was really grateful she said there have already been hurtful things and it was nice to "say it without saying it" ... I saw some pictures today and he looks amazing. such a fighter!

So happy to hear that. Please let her know she has mommies all over the place supporting her and understand exactly what she is going thru. Praying for her and her family.
