Was your child a preemie
2/3/2009 at 10:29 PM
My son was born 4 weeks premature
and hes doing everything at an "average"
age and is progressing actually faster then some that were born overdue. Hes also caught up in height and weight and passed many that were born around the same time as him. I always get the "Hes doing good for a preemie" He was 5lbs 11oz and now hes 20 lbs and born at 19in and now is 30in and is 9months old. I don't really consider him a preemie but if ppl ask how big was he when he was born then i add he was born 4 weeks early.
How many weeks preemie?
and did he or she roll over at the "average" age? crawl at the "average" age? walk at the "average" age?
Or was he or she slower or faster at learning things.
