Intro...

Hi ladies,

I'd like to introduce myself here because it looks like I'll be hanging out for awhile.  I delivered my baby today at 33 weeks quite unexpectedly.  While he is doing fine, I am a little more than freaked out and concerned about what this means for him long-term.  Hopefully I can find you all helpful in getting through at least the beginning months of this process : )

Congratulations on the birth of your son.  There are tons of amazing children on this board that have defied the odds.  Lots of hope to be found!

Also, an April mom (due april 4th) turned February mom. Just had my twins at 34w2d on Friday night at an emergency c-section, definitely very overwhelming!! They are in the NICU but doing well! I get out of the hospital tomorrow and really don't want to go home (I wish I could just stay here and camp out next to my kid's isolettes!) Hugs!!!

Congratulations on the birth of your son. My DD was born at 33w 4d (almost 2.5 years ago), as you are, I was shocked and concerned. She spent 12 days in the NICU and basically was a feeder grower. She finally caught up at one years old and has never really looked back. Praying for a short and uneventful NICU stay.

Congratulations, momma!! I had my DS at 31wks via emergency c section. DS is still in the NICU, so it's been emotionally exhausting. I found this board to be really supportive & full of families who have gone thru this before. DH and I have come up with a visiting routine that works for us (we both are back at work) & i will be taking the rest if my maternity time when DS comes home. Best of luck to you!!
