hi, my dd was born 6 wks early due to severe PE, shes now 11 months old (corrective 9 half months) and shes still not crawling or walking or making any attempt too...just wondering if any one else is having this trouble or had this trouble with their prem bubs??Ta

Hi there,

Edward was premmie (10) weeks and did things to his corrected age or even later sometimes.

Does your bub have check ups at the hospital? you could always ask the physios to assess her if you are worried.

hi, my bub was 10 premmie also due to pe, yes i have found that she is doin everything at corrected age if not later, its so normal, we have been to phyiso 3 times now! and is doing better, do u still attent a local hospital? most of then run a phyiso clinic for premmie babies?
hope i have helped :shakehands:

:yes: same here...DD was born 8wks early and it took her till her corrected age sometimes to do stuff..

if the drs are happy with her progress then don't stress...even term babies can be delayed cause its only a rough age guide anyway.

Our two were born at 31wks and we found that DD was reaching milestones around chronological age and DS3 was hitting them around corrected age.

Does your hospital run a program where they are regularly assessed by physio, ot & speech?

My son was 9 weeks prem and didnt achieve almost any milestones until after his adjusted age. If you're concerned get your daughter checked out of course as she may need some extra assistance but may also just be taking hera bit longer because of her rough start!
