Re: No longer a Feb 2013 mom
I'm so glad that your little girl is doing so well. Please head over to the preemie board - they are an amazing group of women and such a great source of information and support. If it encourages you, a girl I went to high school with had twin girls last year at 23w2d, and they are now almost a year old and doing very well - still on O2, but meeting all of their milestones and they came home about 3 weeks after their due date.
I wish you all the best for you and your new DD!!!

BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
Oh my lord!!!
Sending you and your precious little girl so may good wishes, and positive thoughts and prayers for her continued healthy growth. What a little fighter you have! She really is a miracle
As pps have said - keep us updated when you can

My super all about me birth story:
Then: Fraternal twins born at 26 weeks in 1983. Me: 640 grams. Brother: 840 grams. Family kept watch in the NICU for 5 months before being allowed to go home. On oxygen for a year and a half after being released.
Now: Me: PhD student and married. Brother: Lawyer and married.
Dad's wedding speech: Thank you to all the family who stood watch and prayed for our children's survival. Well now the little scrawny chicken is married. Who would've thought? (Thanks dad for making me laugh and cry at the same time).

I'm going to follow up with my own post, by saying that I agree with others - go to the preemie board. Also, I was born at 26 weeks (not much bigger than your little lady) and after much time in the NICU (5 months) and a few more months on oxygen at home, I grew up with few complications in part from supportive parents and much early intervention. I would urge you that if you feel the need, to seek out as much early intervention as possible - whether or not your child would need speech, physical therapy or occupational therapy will obviously be up to your discretion, but in my case, it helped me meet those important childhood developmental milestones and probably did help with my own development. As said, may your baby grow, grow, grow!
