Premature baby programme

[PicadillyCircus]

I'm watching this at the moment. I think it is getting too sad for me - there was just a baby whose parents wanted him to die in their arms; it was the first time they had held him

Trying hard not to watch it but keep flicking over, it's so sad. My Ds was 6wks prem and have to thank god that he is a healthy little boy.

DH and I had to turn off very very soon after it started. Just too much for me to watch tonight.

am waatching it now and finding it hard going. it is very upsetting and reminds me of a series called born different which followed parents of disabled children. It makes me realise how lucky I am and no matter how difficult some days can be, my baby is healthy and I am always thankful for that. Total respect to the parents on these programmes.

Having also been there in 1995 DH and I were both upset by the programme but thought it was good in that it may let people understand what it is like to go through that experience.

Cannot believe Hooland do not provide special care for babies born under 25 weeks. My friends little girl was born at 24 weeks and weighed under a pound. She is 3 and a half and doing really well Not the case if she had been born in Hooland though

Holland even

I watched bits of it, finding it very emotional. I think it is interesting to question keeping children alive when they may unable to ever do anything for themselves. It is a question I have often thought about and hope to god I never find myself in that suitation. Personally, I think everyone has something to offer society....but it was emotive because it was babies. What would have happened if it had been adults in a vegetable state - don't want to start a debate just the thoughts that went through my mind.
