Was 2nd a preemie? Stats thread

[grace10209]

Hi all
I tried to find a thread with just this info as I know it will help me to see and I'm sure will help others that are curious in the future.

Can you please post the following:

1) how many weeks when 1st preemie born, how long did they stay in hospital, any reason they came early or unknown

2) how many weeks when following preemies were born? How long did they stay in Hosp, etc?

I'll start

1) dd came at 34w, spent 10 days in hospital, it's unknown why she came early
- labor just started randomly.

2) currently preg with #2, boy, I'll be 34w in 2 days.

DD1 at 27+4. In hospital for 11.5 weeks. No reason known for her early arrival.

DD2 at 40+2 however, after being on the OPPTIMUM trial in the UK (researching progesterone and the protein for preterm labour) which included progesterone suppositries

I'm hoping for 36, but I'll be honest and say I think I'd have trouble being 40. Everyday I'm waiting for it to happen, not sure I could take that for another 6 weeks

I delivered at 25 weeks first pregnancy and 40+1 on my second. My first pregnancy was twins which is probably the reason.

DS was 35 weeks, he was a chunk at 6lb8oz, he spent 16 days in hosp establishing feeds.

Both were PPROM, reason unknown.

2nd born at 39+6. Weekly P17 shots from 16-36 weeks. Bedrest then modified bedrest following 2 day hospitalization at 30 weeks for ptl.

My 1st was born October 1st 2013 at 34+0 due to reduced movements caused by fetal distress. She spent 18 days in nicu.

I'm now 25+2 and fully expecting another prem x

My first was born at 29+5 because of pre-eclampsia and placental abruption. 62 day stay (but only 26 days in the nicu, the rest were just in the nursery at the local hospital)

My second born at 38+6, induced because my BP started to rise and wanted baby out before anything worse happened. Came home at a day and a half old. Very different experience. He's 5 months old and weighs less than 7 pounds less than my 2.5 year old.
