Hiya,
Every baby is different so it is impossible to say, which is why you also must not listen to any % rates of survival etc given by anyone. Having a premmie means you have to always be positive and take each day as it comes. Every baby is different so just trust in them and take it one day at a time.
Having a premmie so early does not mean that even if they come home there will be no problems found later on but so what . Our little one is now 18 months old and we have only just found out she has very mild cerebral palsy. We had a new Asian Doctor say she may not be normal as a result which we thought was a senseless thing to say, after all what is normal but she is doing very well
and it may probably not be very noticeable. It does not alter the fact we love her to bits
and with the physio she gets it may well be not even noticetable
She also wears hearing aids (moderate hearing loss) but they are really pretty pink ones , which are quite a fashion accessory these days. The Audiologists expected us to be devasted about her moderate hearing loss but it is no worse than myself needing to wear glasses.
Our little one was on oxygen from 24 weeks until 38 but then came off and came home without any warning at 39 weeks , one week early .
please keep us updated!
