4Audrena exactly! i have met people whose baby's have been in the NICU for more than 2 months! And their baby's have so many complications and having to get surgeries and all. I know this lady who had her son at 25 weeks!!! so crazy. I never thought i would have experienced this especially on my 1st pregnancy!

Congrats 4audrena!

What condition was she in when she was born?

Did she have to be on Cpap or anything?

@143binox2 thank you :)

how early did you go into labor?

And she is 36 weeks gestational...

I pump milk so she can get all the vitamins she needs instead of drinking formula

Wow thats amazing! I agree definately not the best and not what i expected. Yes it can always be worse. I only had 10% chance i have an incompetent cervix and my body was in labor from 18 wk continuous contractions bulging water bag and he was breech. I was in for 1mo him 4 1/2 mos. Ithink its amazing enough that as women the things our bodies go through with babies but in these amazing situations like your is really unbelievable and true mircle babies.
