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?
#mombassadorchat 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 son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related! If you have a question for @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, please tag her in the comments below! Or share your advice and feeding stories.
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 cried when they took my baby away without telling me why, I sobbed openly on the floor of the nicu when I finally got to see her 2 days later. I cried because I couldn't touch my baby because she was too sick for even her mother to touch her. I was an empty shell when they told me I had to go home with out my baby. I had no life expect when I went to see my baby ever 2 hours. We may not have been a micro preemie but we were still preemie parents. The first time I posted about my 34 weeker during preemie awareness month I had a micro preemie mom attack me because my baby was as "preemie" as hers therfore I didn't deserve to call my baby or my self a preemie strong mom. You're wrong. I may not have had a micro preemie but a preemie is still a preemie no matter what the size or gestation. So as an open call to all micro preemie moms, don't look down on "regular" preemie moms just because you think you have it harder, because the truth is we all have it hard. Your not some how more entitled to the name preemie mom because of the micro before it. EVERY preemie mom is Preemie strong and every preemie mom deserves to be loved and felt like she can make it through by the support of other preemie moms. Stop the hate inside a group of women who need all the support they can get. I in know way want to make anyone angry, but the truth is when micro preemie moms put down "regular" preemie moms they do themselves an injustice. Stop the hate embrace the love.
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!

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 ☺
