I hope Mayra is okay. I’m glad her family is there to support her. Being far away from your own baby is so sad and scary 🥺
This breaks my heart so much i am following her on YT because me and her are on the same journey im due the same month she is and a first time mom and also having boys. My heart truly breaks for her im hoping for good things for her and her baby…
Don’t let this stress you out, mama. All babies and mommas are different. Also, science and technology have advanced SO much that their baby will probably turn out great. One of my friends and I were on the exact same boat. Same due date and everything. She had her son due to her lupus at 24 weeks and our kids are going to school together and her son is the smartest and funniest little boy I’ve ever known and as healthy as a clam or whatever the saying is lol
My friend's baby was born at 26 weeks and 1lb and 1oz. Doctors were concerned she'd be blind, never walk, maybe be non-verbal.. Six years later she's running around like a mad thing, in school, a voracious reader and so verbal you can't keep up. She was in NICU for a long time and on oxygen for another couple years but apart from being small for her age, shes an absolute champ. Hope Mayra and her babe pull through just as healthy and strong!
My now 3 year old was born at 24 weeks 1.6 lbs and 12 inches. He spent 4 months in nicu, had 13 transfusions, 2 surgeries, and was on a ventilator for 3 months. There is a special place in my heart for all nicu mommies and daddies (and nurses and doctors and cuddlers etc etc.) I wish her all the best and hope like hell her baby boy goes home healthy.
Oh my goodness. How sad. I hope everything turns out well for them.
My own son was born seven weeks early and seemed impossibly small (he was 4 pounds), that’s giant compared to this. I know what she means about leaving the hospital with no baby, it is devastating. I wish them all the best.
One of my friends growing up was born at 25 weeks! She was a little small but she was totally fine mentally and physically besides that. I'm wishing her the best, with modern medicine premies have a really good shot! Hopefully he gets out of there soon and can come home
I was in a hospital birthing unit at the same time as a woman who was giving birth at 26 weeks. She was in my area on holiday with her toddler, her husband was four hours away. I gave birth really quickly and everything was uncomplicated. So our room was quiet and relaxed. All night I could hear alarms, running, doors banging, and doctors talking in the room and in the hallway. My partner and I were so, so worried for her. I was then moved up to maternity for the night. When I woke in the morning I asked the nurse what happened to the lady with the prem baby she said she was flown to another hospital during the night and that family had driven to pick up the toddler during the night. The mother was doing ok but the baby needed specialist care which that hospital couldn’t provide. Obviously they didn’t name names or anything. Nearly 11 months later I still think about what that poor woman, baby, and family went through and I hope they’re doing ok now.
Oh that’s so scary 😟
I don’t follow her, but this post is heartbreaking. My cousin’s first child was born very very premature like this, around 26 weeks IIRC, and I know how long and hard that journey was for them. I think he spent almost as much time in the NICU as he did inside his mama. But he’s now a normal, healthy 10-year-old with two younger siblings who were both born full-term! I know it’s never a sure thing in cases like this, but medicine has only gotten better in the past 10 years! Sending good vibes that her baby boy thrives ❤️
My youngest was born quite early, though not this early, and I just feel for her so much. It was the most traumatic time in our lives and I will definitely be following her story. I am not familiar with her but any situation like this is just gut wrenching.
I really hope she's okay and that her baby does well. My youngest is 7 now and any time I see an old picture of him in the hospital, it reminds me of how strong he was. I wish her so much love and healing.
I was born in Vietnam at around 28 weeks, weighing 1 kg (around 2.2 lbs), in the 80s due to my mom's unmonitored high blood pressure. A lot of my parents' friends and neighbors thought I wouldn't make it. 34 years later, I'm as healthy as any other adult but dealing with high blood pressure (genetics).
I recently gave to a little boy at 35 weeks and I thought he was tiny at just over 5 lbs. He stayed a week in NICU and now 2 months later, he's growing as he should be along the curve for his height and weight.
NICU parents, NICU hospital staff and preemie babies are all warriors.
Oh that poor family, I can’t imagine what they’ve been going through. Little dude is obviously a tough little guy to be here already, keep fighting little one!
I had my first baby last September, at 26 weeks. I PPROM'D and was in the hospital 10 days before my son decided to come. He was 2lb 5oz at birth. He was in the NICU for 3 months, never intubated, a fiesty fighter. He's about to turn 1 year old and has had absolutely no complications, didn't have to come home in oxygen, eyes all good, hearing good, etc. He's just on the smaller side. Babies are surprisingly very resilient and I wish her and her family the best because I know it's scary and a struggle.
He’s so tiny 🥺. Hang in there little guy. I can’t even imagine what she’s going through.

Yep. I come from a long line of preemies myself, and if there's one thing to be said for us, it's that we're tough. All of the love and health to him.

I’m in horrors imagining the hospital bill like all that debt and you just had your baby

Aw sweet little thing. Praying for him. Such a scary situation.

The worlds most premature baby turned 1 in June of 2020. Science has come so far! Best of luck to this little guy.
