When's the earliest you experienced mommies had one come early? Two-Three or four weeks early?

Question

Tell your stories. I am curious about how early before the due date babyies have come and have still been healthy....

Answer 1

I work with premature babies and had one born at 23.5 weeks. She was 12 oz when she was born. She spent 4 months in the NICU before coming home. She had many health problems and was delayed in her development until she was bout 3 years old. She's now 4 years old and doing pretty well. Most premature babies will stay in the NICU until they reach somewhere between 36 weeks gestation and their due date.

Answer 2

Here's my story,
my prepregnacy weight was 95, I'm 5'3", I was 23 yrs old, & I was/am healthy. My son was born 7 wks early, he weighed 5 lbs 10 oz (big baby for that age), 18 1/2" long. I gained 25 lbs thus far in the pregnancy. For the most part he was healthy, was in the hospital for about a week, & had no negative side effects. Seeing him now, you'd never of known he was born early, he's normal just like any other kid.

Answer 3

My first child was born one day before the due date. Most babies are born on the due date, but some comes out one month early. I think that is the earliest a mommy can expect to give birth if it is early. But I'm not very sure. Everyone gives birth at a different times.

Answer 4

My first was born on his due date by scheduled c section (frank breech) any way it is rare for babies to be born on the due date!! I don't know when this one will come but I'm so ready to hold him and I have had my bags packed for about a month or so!! If you google miracle births or 36 weeks gestation you can find all sorts of neat stories of babies born early I read a billion of them!!

Answer 5

My son was 11 weeks early born at 29 weeks. He weighed 2 pounds 11 ounces, and it a normal healthy soon to be 4 year old!!

Answer 8

I have two daughters, one came at 36 weeks and one at 25 weeks. They are both extremely healthy now. Granted my 25 weeker had a very rough spot but after she came home, she's just been healthier than any full termer, doc's are amazed and say she's pretty rare to be in such great shape.
