My first born was a preemie! I had him at 35 weeks and 6 days! He was 3 pounds and 14 ounces and had to spend some time in the NICU! I'm pregnant with twins now and I'm so scared they will be preemies as well!
@supermom1992, I know if they aren't at least 4 pounds they will send them to the NICU. It just sucks having that in the back of my mind constantly because I have to have them at the same hospital as my son because of the insurance I'm on.
@highess9720, he was in there 8 days! I know it doesn't seem long but those were the longest 8 days of my life! They were torture! The hospital I had him at didn't have a NICU so after he was born they transferred him to a hospital 30 minutes away! I didn't get to hold him Til he was 3 days old and all the nurses in the NICU were super overprotective and sometimes wouldn't let me take care of him! It was an awful experience!
With twins preemies are common but they can be healthy. Both my sons (single births) were preemie and healthy and didn't have to NICU. Preemie doesn't always mean unhealthy sometimes they are just small and healthy. Don't worry yourself.
