1 Pound Babies!

[naiwen]

Hello :wave:

Seeing as there is a 10 pound thread I thought we could have a 1 pound thread.

DS was 1lb14oz, anyone else?

:wave:

[Jinglebells]

my DS1 and DS3 were about 100grams off being a 1lb, so tiny

I have a friend, and she only weighed 1lb when she was born 29 years ago :yes:

[Herchy]

My great grandfather was 1 pound when he was born, and wrapped in cotton wool.

[naiwen]

Why was that Kewe, mine was due to HELLP syndrome.

Herchy that's amazing he survived!

:( 1lb is too small girls,its not fair they can be born so little is it! My DS was 2lb12oz hes 6 now and still tiny for his age (under 14kg).

[Jender]

I think PROM is premature rupture of membranes

yip 1lb is way too small, its the average size of a 23/24wker give or take a few grams,

yip PROM is premature rupture of membraines :yes:

My best friend has twins at 24 weeks and they were both 1 lb 6 oz (one was 626g and the other was 644g).

They are both doing really well, one is still on oxygen tho, they are now 8mths old (4mths corrected)

My daughter was born 2 pound 2 oz or 955 grams in 2006 and my son was 1 pound 3 oz or 535grams born in July he is now 4 1/2 months and 2.3 kg.
I am expecting number 3 in June !
I was 6 weeks pregnant when my son was due to be born !

[KerriO]

My son was born at 1pd15oz in 2005 at 28wks
He is now 3.5 and doing really really well.

[naiwen]

Hi Chloesma,

Is your son home yet? Congrats on number 3, do you know why they came early?

KerriO,

That's great to hear he is doing well, did he come home on oxygen at all?

[sshellzp]

My dd was born at 26 weeks due to prom and was 1lb 11 1/2oz. Shes nearly 3 now and is doing awesome.

[KerriO]

naiwen, he did come home on oxygen, he came home in August and was off the oxygen by December. 1 week before christmas, it was so exciting.

[AM]

Wow. This thread has really opened my eyes! I would never have believed babies could be born 1lb and survive!

:hugs: to all of you who have been through it, must be terribly stressful, and to those whose babies did not make it :hugs:

[naiwen]

Thanks AM,

Shell I have been wondering where you were! Congratulations on getting to 36 weeks, that's awesome! Did your DS spend any time in SCN?

KerriO when they come of oxygen is wonderfull hey, Edward had CLD and scarring and reduced capacity etc but it's amazing how their lungs can heal if they get the chance.
Must have been the best xmas gift ever!

Kewe were all your babies early?

[sshellzp]

Thanks AM,

Shell I have been wondering where you were! Congratulations on getting to 36 weeks, that's awesome! Did your DS spend any time in SCN?


Thanks so much. Yeah, Zack was in the SCN for 3 weeks because he had trouble feeding. Other than that he was fine.

[Jinglebells]

Kewe were all your babies early?

no, DS2 was a 39wker, got to term with him

DD was born just under 5wks early, she had under developed lungs, was acting like a 34wker, I think my babies just develop alot slower than the norm, so maybe a typical pregnancy for me would be 42wks if I was to get to term or something like that cause of the slow development, which would make sence, with DD acting like she was 6wks early not 4 and a half weeks early :confused:

Hi
He is still in NICU on CPAP and is 5 months old tomorrow. We are expecting him to be in hospital another year.
