Okay serious question and it might be dumb. My son was born at 37 weeks gestation. But developmentally he was only at 32 weeks since started growing VERY slowly. I had to be induced because they were afraid he'd stop growing completely. But if he was born at 37 weeks but was developmentally the same as a 32 week fetus, would he count as a Preemie? I mean he wore preemie clothes until he was 3 months old. He had a short stay In the NICU. Only 4 days. But does he count as a "preemie" I need to know so I can know if I can feel comfortable joining a group for preemies, since Henry is so behind I don't connect with moms who had bigger babies or "fully baked" babies. Trying to figure out where we fit into the groups so I can find a support chat or system that understands what I'm going through. TIA!

It does seem like he could fit into preemie. But if you relate to preemie moms more nobody will judge you or tell you otherwise ☺
