DD1: 3 lbs 10 oz, stayed in the NICU for 2 weeks (had jaundice and oxygen day 1 and 2 and was done with all of that after 2 days) just had to feed adn grow.
DD2: 2 lbs 12 oz, stayed in the NICU for a month. Had NO problems, just had to feed and grow.
I had a perfect pregnancy until 32 weeks when we developed IUGR and that is why they were so little.
Born at 35 wks 3 days. Had steroid shots at 29 wks.
Baby A - 5lbs 6 oz. 9 days in NICU. All she needed was an IV for 24hrs because of slightly low blood sugar, went under lights for 24 hrs on day 3, and had a self resolved apnea on day 4 so she had to stay for a 5 day count.
Baby B - 5 lbs 7 oz. 6 days in NICU. She had CPAP. Then they decided she needed surfactant for her lungs so they had to put her on a ventilator for 24 hrs. She had an IV for about 4 days ( I think). She also went under the lights on day 3 for 24 hrs.
34.6 wks....4.2 lbs and 5.9 lbs. nicu for 14 days for both babies. they had two apnea spells each which bought them 10 days each and for keeping body temp up, eating and growing.

Re: 34 and 35 weekers
Mine were 34w5d.
DS1: 4 lbs 9 oz, 13 days stay (it was supposed to be 10, but he crapped blood the night before and had to stay for observation.)
DS2: 4 lbs 13 oz, 10 days stay
They were just growers and feeders, so thankfully nothing major.
Mine were 34w3d.

Born at 35 wks 3 days. Had steroid shots at 29 wks.
Baby A - 5lbs 6 oz. 9 days in NICU. All she needed was an IV for 24hrs because of slightly low blood sugar, went under lights for 24 hrs on day 3, and had a self resolved apnea on day 4 so she had to stay for a 5 day count.
Baby B - 5 lbs 7 oz. 6 days in NICU. She had CPAP. Then they decided she needed surfactant for her lungs so they had to put her on a ventilator for 24 hrs. She had an IV for about 4 days ( I think). She also went under the lights on day 3 for 24 hrs.
They were the least sick babies in the NICU.
My two were born at 34 weeks 3 days.
Baby A was 5 lbs 4 ozs, Baby B was 5 lbs 3 ozs.- I didn't have steroid shots. They stayed in the NICU for 17 days. They just needed to learn to eat.
I made it to 35W, 6 days.

Baby B was 6 pounds, 3 ounces.
Steroid shots at 31 weeks. They were in the NICU for one week (glucose issues. I also had an infection/fever going into labor and they were on antibiotics for 48 hours).
I would suggest asking your Dr. for steriod shots for their lungs, I really think it helped my LOs.
