I'm watching. It will no doubt make me cry. My twin girls were born at 23+5 and athough one made it to NICU, neither survived. Sad

MillieMoosMummy · 09/03/2011 21:02

I'm braving it... I usually cry and cry at these shows.

Geepers · 09/03/2011 21:03

Not sure I believe those statistics

itchynose · 09/03/2011 21:04

I don't know if I CAN watch. Sob!

MillieMoosMummy · 09/03/2011 21:04

The 1 in 9 are without a disability? Perhaps taking into account very slight disabilities it could be true?

PictureThis · 09/03/2011 21:06

I'm watching too.

Geepers · 09/03/2011 21:06

I am sure I was told the odds of survival were more like 50/50.

Thank god we weren't given the choice because we would have opted to let them die. Shocking really, as they are perfectly well now.

MillieMoosMummy · 09/03/2011 21:07

Can they not keep this baby in a bit longer with iv antibiotics for the infection??

I might have to turn over.

EmmaBemma · 09/03/2011 21:07

midori, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughters. That is desperately sad, I can hardly begin to imagine.

Geepers · 09/03/2011 21:08

Wow. Amazing.

orienteerer · 09/03/2011 21:09

I'm not liking this but trying to watch......

itchynose · 09/03/2011 21:09

Those poor parents. And tiny tiny baby

lyra41 · 09/03/2011 21:09

Midori
I am so sorry for your loss. Words are inadequate, but sending lots of love. X

geordieminx · 09/03/2011 21:09

Midori, so sorry for the loss of your daughters,

Geepers · 09/03/2011 21:10

She is almost exactly the same size as my boys.

sheeplikessleep · 09/03/2011 21:10

so so so tiny.

don't know if i am strong enough to watch this Sad

Teleaddict · 09/03/2011 21:10

I don't know whether to watch any more. My son was born at 23 + 6 days in January but died after 3 weeks. I might have to turn over too.

MillieMoosMummy · 09/03/2011 21:13

This is terribly upsetting. I think I have to go...

Portofino · 09/03/2011 21:13

So tiny. God that is so upsetting. It seems almost unfair to offer hope. But if you were the parents....

ThistleDoNicely · 09/03/2011 21:13

Oh, 11mins in and Blubbing. Harrowing stuff. Need to keep watching for happy endings.
