29-weeker – Doing Great
My baby was born prematurely, 29 weeks and 3 days. His weight was 3 pounds, 1 ounce, and he was 16 inches long.

He was breathing on his own, no oxygen whatsoever, no caffeine. He stayed in the NICU for one month, and we came home on apnea monitor.

His monitor doesn't go off at all. He is 11 pounds now, and he is laughing and trying and when he lies on his stomach he is holding his head up, perfectly.

I would like to be in touch with moms who had babies such a size and age when they were born.

Your baby's labor and delivery is like no other in the world. Let others know what your experience was like.
