I had my son at 32w4d. I had steroid shots and he was breathing on his own when he was born. He stayed in the NICU for 25 days and did great. Girls usually progress faster than boys do in the NICU. At 32 weeks your baby will be fine. It's a little scary a

My friend just had a baby born at 32 weeks hes doing great but still in the nicu waiting for him to gain more weight. The steroid shots do wonders to help their lungs. Best of luck to you.

My dd was born at 27 weeks and is great. I had severe preeclampsia, which does stress the baby and causes the lungs to develop quicker, but I only had the steroid shot 2 hours before delivery so it didn't get much time to work. She was born crying and was

DS was born at 31 & 3 days.  He was in the NICU for 44 days.  Check out the Preemie board.  The ladies are so great.

I was born at 31 weeks, 3lbs 2 oz I spent 45 days in the hospital (they wont release the baby till there over 5lbs), my mom was extremely high risk but you'd never be able to tell that I was a preemie and I am completely healthy. Thoug

DD was born 6lbs 4 oz at 33 weeks -- was screaming her lungs out.  Apgar scores were 7 & 9.  I did have 2 rounds of the steriod treatments -- came out a little grey and floppy (the chord was wrapped 2x).  Had to spend 48 hrs in the NICU

I had my son at 33 weeks almost three years ago. Although not ideal, as others on this forum hav said, 32 weekers do well in NICU, especially if you've had time to get two rounds of steroids on board. I was scared just as you are, but my son really didn't

I had my first around 32 weeks.  He is now a healthy and crazy little two year old.  He did spend 16 days in the NICU and was a little behind on meeting milestones but today you could never tell he was a preemie!

Good Luck and Prayers

I was born at 33 weeks 30 years ago and my youngest sister was born at 28 weeks 19 years ago.  The technology available now is amazing and girls are tougher than boys. Prayers that she stays in a while longer though!

I had my first DD at 33w and my second DD at 34w. Both had about a 2 week NICU stay. My first only got one steroid shot, but my second got both shots. Definitely think the shots helped. Definitely check out the preemie board. Praying that you keep baking

I had my 1st dd at 32 weeks (3lb10oz), and my 2nd dd at 36 weeks (4lb12oz).  I had the steroid shots with both of them, and they were fine.  DD1 was in the NICU for 5 weeks, and was on a breathing tube for only 1 night.  She did really well
