32 week preemie, how long did they stay in hospital?

[xMissxZoiex]

I had my baby 10 days ago at 31+5 we are still currently in hospital. We are currently in the low dependency unit and I now have him in my room with me.

He was 4lbs half an ounce at birth he's doing really well exclusively breastfed he hasn't had a feeding tube in for 4/5 days now and he hasn't needed any form of top ups. They are monitoring his temperature as he seems to sit at 36.4.

I was wondering how long your premie stayed in hospital if they were a similar gestation.

I'm soooo home sick right now I just want to get home with my baby!.

Congratulations on your little boy! He sounds like he's doing great.

My DS2 was born at 32+6 weighing 4lb5oz. He came home at what would of been 35+4 after an uneventful stay, he was basically a feeder and grower. Although he was on tube feeds until a couple of days before he came home so it sounds like your LO is doing a lot better for his gestation!

We are on day 11 and have been told today he just needs to sort his temperature out and maintain it for 24 hours then we are being discharged!

Thanks, it went so smoothly!.

By my lmp dates he was 33+3 not 31+5 now 12 days old I'm thinking that's why he is such a pro.

I'm sooo ready to go home!!
