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!

Anyone on here had their baby earlier than 30 weeks? I had a preemie he was born at 33 weeks but I feel like this little girl wants to come earlier than her brother did?

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Dear micro preemie moms, I'm writing this to you. When my daughter was born we were told we were 37 weeks along only to then be told the doctor before me lied to me and I wasn't 37 weeks I was 32 weeks and my baby would be born a preemie. Just a little earlier I had someone who I thought was a friend give birth to a 28 weeker. She was considered a micro preemie. I felt bad but I also had my own issues to deal with with my preemie daughter. When she was born our lives were a nightmare. I c...
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!
Do Not Post TMI Photos in this group!!!
This is a group of ladies that are kind, encouraging, understanding and caring of any problems you may have ttc. You can ask all the questions you want, if this group is capable of answering, we will do so. But this group does not appreciate the TMI photos. We will report them. So if you seriously need to post a picture of your bodily fluids, please do so in another group. We are not trying to be rude we are just trying to keep this group clean and happy.
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 ☺
