I'm 13.On 24 December 2006 I gave birth to my twin-daughters E. and A.They were both small and there was a low chance for them to survive.Now E. is 4.7 pounds and A. is still 2.5 pounds(they were born in the 7th month).Both of them are in incubators and machines help them to breathe.Tomorrow the doctors will turn off the breathing machine of E. and I'm very very scared!If she cannot breathe they will turn it on again but while they make sure she is not bretahing(if she isn't) is there any risk of her to die?She will be at leasta few second like this before they see if she is breathing or not.Would there be a problem if she hasn't oxygen for a while?

As a nurse, I will tell you that no doctor would try this unless he was pretty sure she could breathe on her own. Is there risk? There is always a risk, but the doctor knows if it is a serous risk, and obviously not or he wouldn't try it.

The doctos' will not allow anything bad to happen to your baby, they are going to do everything they possibly can to help sustain their lives. No a few seconds will not do any harm to them without oxygen... hold your breath a few seconds and see what happens. I'm hoping she does well breathing on her own, that's one step closer to her being able to come home.

Babies can stop breathing for up to 10 seconds and be okay. They know what they are doing, it will be okay.

I don't know.....I guess there is always a chance that anything could happen...the dr's should tell you all of this anyways.
