[TripleTime]

For all us Prem mums & dad, lets have our own thread.

Mods - Can you please sticky this.


Anyone else hanging for the cold/grose weather to finish & keep the bugs away?

Can I join? My DD was a prem. She was born at 28.5weeks in 2004. She will be 5 on the 27th of October.

I am hating this weather. Its cold one day, then sunny, then rainy, then cold again, then hot. No wonder I keep getting sick.

BTW - Your babies are so cute.

Hi I am mum to Tamara born in April 08 at 29 weeks. She is 18 months now.
LOL Swap you the weather, was 35 here yesterday TG its only gonna be 26 here today.
I'm also pregnant and so far 35+2 weeks. Very surprising to make it this far. Didn't realise how bloody uncomfortable getting this far would be.

I am not 100% but i think you can request them through the medical board or hospital or something like that.

Sure can get it

If you ring the hospital's main switch board & ask to speak to Patient Records. They can put you in the right direction. There maybe a small fee involved to get hold of them but it can be done.

I know plenty of Prem Parents that have done it. Im going to get our next week.
