PREM BABY

I am a mum of prem baby who is 1 months but corrected age is 9 months. Last week she rolled over for the first time which I feel is very late compared to my other two age 13 and 12. I know that we shouldn't compare but I feel that this is very late. Also she has no desire to crawl although she does sit up beautifully is there anyone else with prem baby in the same position as me ??

my ds, 29 weeks ( 2.5 months early )He was in the NICU for 2.5 months, mainly due to infections, that led to heart failure, he require so many transfusions, oxygen, surgury to put a pic line in ( all his vains has blown ) I read one of the other mom say that she hardly cried and that she went numb....that sounds about right...there wasn't any room for emotion......
DS was a total space cadet forever..he didn't smile until he was like 9 months old....he didn't start to even wave bye-bye till last month (21 months now)... i still worry about everything though...things still go wrong sometimes but right when i'm about to lose my mind things start to progress..He still has really bad allergies, and asthma and still behind in a few things but by the time you read this he will be doing half of what i was going to say he wasn't.....
guess it depends on the child..how much stimulation..is she easy going or active..did she have a lot of trouble after, did she require oxygen, did she have any surguries...a lot of things could play an extremely big part of a premie's first start in life..i have learned that patience is the hardest thing to keep when there is so much at stake..is there something wrong..? Should i take her to the doctor..? It is endless... and it is just the beginning and if all goes well you'll be doing the same worrying for the next 2 years...only to find out that their is absolutely nothing wrong.....but you dd is lucky to have a mom that is so concerned
