I'm 21 and was born 3 months early....weight 2 lbs...
i lived to be a healthy baby with a little scaring on my chest area from surgeries, I was diagnosed with learning disability for my working memory from Sick Kids hopsital in Toronto.
I forget things all the time...randomly...more when i'm stressed...i cant' do math equations because i can't remember the steps...i can't follow the information if i get too much at one time...
i'm a smart kind pretty young girl but it has held me back and i didn't go to college. It causes stress for me everyday and there is no meds or therapy for it....does anyone else have complications from being born premature??? i know i am lucky but i still have this disability i struggle with all the time...

i wasn't diagnosed with a LD till i was 17 it was far too late education wise!
I'm thankful i'm physically healthy other than scaring from lung punctures my sister was a premie too and one of her nostrials is bigger than the other cause of the tube we always laugh about it she feels bad about it but she is very smart and has noother problems both of us 3 months early and 7 years apart! Miracle Babies! my heart goes out to the parents of premies this holiday season!
Keep Hoping and everything will be okay!

Have you been to any kind of therapist or special doctor for your problem? There are special places here in the US for people with developmental disabilities who offer help in this area. There is no need for you to have stress every day because of your disability. Check into places for Developmental Disabilities in your area I'm sure they are there....Good Luck and Happy Holidays
