Thinking of you Aitch. I know everyone knows someone who had a baby at 33 weeks or less who was fine and it probably doesn't make you feel better but hell, I DO know someone who was admitted for pre eclampsia and had a healthy baby at 31 weeks. He's just had his first birthday and is adorable and completely healthy. And breast fed.

Puppster · 26/08/2008 19:31

PS a friend also BLW'd having never heard of it before I mentioned it (5 days before she was planning a puree approach), and is now a devotee, so you're reaching beyond lurkers to RL people who've never even mn'd (imagine!)

FAQ · 26/08/2008 19:33

hope everything is ok

hertsnessex · 26/08/2008 19:34

Thinking of you Aitch. You can still bf, but you will have to express and tube feed for a while. hope all goes well.

Bugger Aitch. Not good news, but lots of positive stories on here to encourage.

Congrats on another girl btw - what a way to announce!

Fingers crossed for you and all that. If there's anything I can do...

Hang on in there Aitch.

bramblebooks · 26/08/2008 19:53

Aitch, sorry to hear this. Good luck to you both. My bro's baby came at 28 weeks (2lbs) and is now a feisty 8 month old. xxxxx

Themasterandmargaritas · 26/08/2008 19:55

positive vibes to you, Aitch.

onebatmother · 26/08/2008 20:11

Sending good luck vibes your way from the Choo household! XXXX

Bumperlicious · 26/08/2008 20:18

Fuck Aitch, I only found out you are pg yesterday!

No experience or advice I'm afraid, just relax as much as you can. She'll be ok, she's got a fighter for a mother. I know you really wanted to breastfeed this time. Order the most industrial breast pump you can . Hopefully the hospital will have one, and pump like a mad woman!

We are all here for you. Lots of positive stories on here. Fingers crossed for you xxx

giraffescantdancethetango · 26/08/2008 20:18
