The plastic bag helps the kiddos maintain an adequate body temp. He's most likely on a warming table as well, to help out with temp regulation. Looks like he's doing great! What a fighter. I wish all 28 weekers came out looking like him.
This is cool i was a premature child born march 16 1994 I weighed 3 pounds and now I'm almost 18 and healthy I'm sure your kid is strong and will grow up awesome too
Ahhh, i love watching these, this gave me tears actually.... I gave birth at 26+5 via emergency c section, my lil man was 1005grams (2lb 3.5oz) we spent 87days in NICU, came home 6days before his due date!
All your premmie families, you are all amazing!! :)
Thanks for putting this video on. I'm trying to get back to NICU nursing after years away (having my own children), but I was at the Rosie Maternity in Cambridge, England, in 1984 when Colin Morley worked there, and I'll never forget everybody there. :)
SUCH A BRAVE LITTLE HANDSOME BOY....BUT MOM AND DAD COOPER WAS SAYING GET THAT THING OFF MY FACE....HE DID NOT WANT NOTHING ON HIS FACE...I saw cooper trying to move the nurse hands...I pray all is well with little Cooper now...Love u lil dude
i have been a nicu nurse for over 16 yrs and i find it gross they i mean NONE are not wearing gloves not only is against universal percautions what about flipping HIV AND HEP B ECT.who know what this mother has could have herpes anything and they are not wearing gloves. This baby was just born , it still has blood on him, ect,,,,,,,
i love watching these videos of these little fighters. I Was so afraid my son would come early and he sure did not !i had him at 39 weeks and he was 8lbs 8.3 oz and i did it all natrual he only 7 weeks today so i still feel invincible lol
@Babyfullable : Congratulations, good on you!! Yes, wow... isn't it an incredible feeling those natural endorphins were fantastic ..loved that feeling, felt like superwoman for ages after my Number two with everything almost identical to yours, no drugs etc.38 weeks, 8lb. it did so so very much to counter and repair the experience of my premmie. all the best with bubs! :) nic
What a cute little baby! But so tiny :( did he make it alight? I'm happy with the medical stuff we have now. I was talking to a woman who used to be a baby nurse. She said they didnt have what we have now, she had to press on the little baby's chest to keep its heart beating... Thank God for all the new medical stuff we have!
i was also born at 28 weeks and 3lbs4oz...im a girl though ...always do things different LOL....but turned out pretty much ok besides conduction problems with my heart and as a kid had probs with comprehension...otherwise normal
thank you for sharing this! my twins were born at 23 weeks gestation. anthony was 1lb 8oz and michael was 1lb 5oz. i lost michael after 9 days. anthony is now over 3 months and is 4lbs 6oz. he has been in 3 hospitals and just has laser eye surgery. i hope to have him home soon! <3
im 14 and i know you will think wth is this kid doing in videos like this well let me say why, i care when I'm a father no matter what my child looks like i will take care so I'm so happy that your son got really good care and hopefully has grown into a proper child.
How can nurses care for people properly when they are slaved out /overworked/ numb from being overwhelmed with unreasonable workloads? Who is responsible? Why isn't their enough money for quality labor environments/ wages that match the stress and responsibility? It comes from high places...be politically informed to find the answers...watch MONEY CHANGERS- THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS documentary. Open your eyes as to where public money for healthcare is going and it's not to the people.
yes 8Lb :0 was very happy when she eventually emerged - drug free too so i was feeling super human for weeks on the endorphins. Its amazing how little control over the entire pregnancy & birth process we hav. Just cross our fingers and hope that the outcome however they arrive is good for the kid! It was great that the monitoring of kaiden was able to save his life, i'd not heard of that virus, will have to look it up now... and my 5yr old will also be at school next year they grow up too fast!
WOW, born so early but a really good weight! My son was 1.76kg at 34wks- emergency c-section, born extremely sick and not expected to live. Thankfully he was a fighter and is now 4yrs 4mths, Global Developmental Delay and hearing loss to both ears (cochlea implant fitted in April 2010, second implant next Thursday)- does your son have any issues from his prematurity? Can i ask what caused his early arrival?
@AussieMummySince07 - Thanks for your story, The impants I'll guess are making a huge difference to his life (go aussie inventions!). I'm sorry your son's start was so traumatic. My boy thankfully has no ongoing issues. we were very fortunate to keep him after nearly loosing him at 22 weeks due to cervical incompetence. then all looking good after 6 weeks on my back spontaneous labour?!? Why? no one could say. 3.5 years later & another preventative stitch bub#2 went full term no problem!! :)
@skaternic007 Oh yeah- his first implant has made a DRAMATIC difference! Here's hoping the second will be just as significant! (im in Australia too BTW)- his speech is quite delayed but getting better and better :)
Thats fantastic your son has no complications from being born so early- these premmies are pretty tough!
At least with your second you knew about the cervix issue, thats fantastic you went to term! I went 40+5 with my daughter and she was a petite but 100% healthy 6lb 15oz :)
@AussieMummySince07- give him a couple of years with his new ears and he'll be great!! that's wonderful. but these little girls are tough, not too keen on coming out either... He he. I recall the nurses saying most premmies are boys.. i wonder why. glad my doc thought that 38 weeks was enough for #2 she was already just over 8lb and delivered naturally too which was great for mentall healing after the emergency c for her big brother.
@skaternic007 He starts school next year and is going to a school with a hearing impairment so hoping that does him wonders and brings him along a lot :)
Well, with Kaiden i caught a virus called Cytomegalovirus which is pretty bad for unborn babies so he had to be born because he had stopped growing and moving and there was almost no fluid around him :(
WOW- 8lb! Nice healthy girl! I had to have another emerg. c unfortunately as she got stuck and was coming face first :(
He's probably thinking: Dab namit! Leave me alone already! LOL! My little guy was also in the NICU but he was full term. He was born without a butthole. Yep. I wasn't with him but his daddy was. He didn't like the tubings and even tried to yank it out several times. And he had an IV in his head. Yeah, OUCH. So glad your little guys a fiesty little guy. Shows that he is a strong little one. Thank GOD he did great!
@colleb95 - hope your little one is Ok now and that his issue will not give ongoing problems after they repaired him?? ps - my boy now 5... still fiesty!! LOL
@iluvhermitcrabs18 , thanks for your comment - he was in for 51 days and was out by the time he was a little over 35weeks gestation equivalent. he did very well.
Wow for a 28 nearly 29 week prem he is a really good size an seemed to be doing fantasic. My daughter was born at 32 weeks and as soon as she was born they whisked her away to put her on oxygen and call the angel flight (we were in a small rural hospital that was not prepared for this) she was flown to our capital city 8 hours away from home and spent 2 months in NICU on oxygen, feeding tube, saline drip, and having phototherapy for extreme jaundice.
@fpv86 thanks for your comment - yes we were very lucky he was so healthy, your premie journey is quite arduous by comparison, i hope you all have recovered and there are no lasting issues:) ( i had anoccasion to be near some hand sanitizer that smelt the same as that used in the NIcu and 5 year old memories came rushing back like it was yesterday - i had thought i was completely over it, but a few tissues were needed... the power of smell... amazing)
Hey, this video of your son has been stolen, and has been uploaded on a nother page, they are claiming it is the baby named 'megatron' if your familiar with that facebook page. The video is titled: 1 million 'likes' & my wife will agree to call our baby Megatron. youtube.com/watch?v=Gd4nJS0RmIM
I was premature too. I weight in less than 1 kg (970 grams or something). I was supposed to be born in november but was born in september. When i was in my mother's womb the doctor said I'm gonna die in womb or will be severely handicapped or retarded. I looked dead in the pictures (dead or too handicapped to move). However when I was born I was complitely normal. I have never had any complications or illnesses eversince. I'm perfectly healthy. Some things just are miraculous :)
what a super star only needing CPAP and not ventilation! that's awesome!! \how is he now? seems like a little trooper - why was he delivered so early? x
Thank you so much for sharing this. My first daughter was born at 26 weeks gestation, just over a pound, and unfortunately didn't make it. My second daughter was born 2 years later at 31 weeks gestation, 2 lbs, 19 oz. We spent hours in the NICU with her. She was there for a grand total of 44 days, and every second of it was a struggle. But they're fighters! My little girl will be 2 soon, and she continues to amaze everyone she comes in contact with. Blessings to you and your family!
i know a little baby who was born 3 months early... and his mommy didnt want him,,, she wanted him in a loving family and he is now adopted in a good home! your baby is soo cute! and special! soo cuute!
My nearly 22-year-old daughter was born weighing 2lbs 10.5oz; was in a incubator for nearly 3 months and on a ventilator (on & off) for 7 weeks. This reminded me soo much when my Cait was born I was in tears! I hope your son is doing well.....preemies that are fighters (and from the looks of it he was and probably still is) do so well...she's off to Queens University Belfast in 15 days for a specialized summer class! Cheers and God bless you and your son!
@ECCRN1996 - thankyou for your comment - as always i love hearing about ' older' premmies. you must be so very proud of your daughter (just be prepared....Belfast it may not just be for summer! both my sisters went to Europe at a similar age, -one went for a summer short course in Venice and came home 5 years later, married with a child! and the other after 3 years of travelling... :) My son is well in all respects and was and still is a fighter & determined in anything he does.Nic
@skaternic007 Oh I'm well aware of that! My Irish relatives (most of the the family is still in Ireland) are threatening to "kidnap" her for a weekend to take her to Sligo and to the family pub! I told her she HAD to come home as she wouldn't have enough clothes! Hahahaha!! So glad to hear about your son....my Cait was also 28 wk/2 days gestation! Scariest thing ever!!! God bless you all!
@ECCRN1996 My friend's baby boy was born weighing only 1lb and 9 oz . He was born about 2 months ago and they're still struggling with the baby but everyone loves him. The baby is 3 months premature but still doing fine and we're still praying for him. Glad to hear that your daughter turned out well and healthy and I know how much pain it must have been.
@skaternic007 That is a very interesting story. I want to become a Doctor. These kinds of stories inspire me to keep on studying Organic Chemistry when all hope seems lost....
holy crap, our resus protocol is different, but we don't remove the plastic bag until the baby is transfered to an incubator and has 2 consecutive temperature readings that are normal... Removing the bag now causes hypothermia and potentially an IVH due to cold stress. Hope your little one is fine now! :)
@darthtunaqueen ; he was very fine Then i suspect that was the reason for the treatment like an older gestation bub. apgar ( 8, 10,10) scores were better than my second bub who was natural & at full term., and Fine now. Thanks for your comment... it is interesting to get all the points of view this provokes. NIc
i was a pemmie at 4 pounds 20 ounces hooked up to machines for weeks at a time everytime i moved my mom said they got scared cause thats when i would fall unconcious (i hope i spelled that right now i am 22 yrs old and about to have my second baby in nov 2 2011 first child was a healthy baby boy and i am m,uch much healthy bbw thank you jesus
My little brother was born premature and this all happened to him. I wasn't actually there but I saw a video of it and I could tell that if he could talk, he would be screaming, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!?!?!?" it's sad but it saves babies' lives
My baby sister who was born on 23rd of april 2008 was bron at 28 weeks and i can seriousley say it was the most scaryist thing i have ever gone through. She weight just 2 pounds :'( Her skin was seethrugh and she was in a ingabater for 3 months. She had a hole in the heart when she was only 6 months old and had to have it repaired it was so scary (': She is three now but is still under weight but is getting alot better :) This video is amazing to me cause it remined me soo much of herrr :) xxxxx
i know this is VERY inappropriate but... if i was that baby at the end i would have been popping the bubble wrap like there is not tomorrow. sorry. i love that baby though he is so sweet and small
@FOREVERXALIKE :) i don't find it inappropriate & I'm his mum!. by the way a few days ago ( now 4 and a half) he was popping bubble wrap with his cousins like there was no tomorrow & loving it! - must have been the early training. :)
@skaternic007 aaw lol :) my dad was a premature baby and he is in his 60's lol. you must be a proud mother of your child:) in the futer he may become the world record setter for most bubble wrap popped in 1 min ;) god bless
I was born 3 months early and weighed 2 ibs. 14 ozs. I'm an A B student and can do everything doctors said I couldn't and I weigh 160 ibs and I'm 15. Born in 1996 and stayed in vandy hospital for 43 days. Now I'm a beast at sports and nothin is wrong with me.
@WillyPete10 - that's great news!, premmies have so much better outcomes once they get to the 27 - 28 week mark. great to hear you have had no problems. Nic
@sheray2929 Why? Don't you see they are trying to help their son? he needs to stay warm bc he is too small for clothes.. And he needs help with his breathing too.. as for the glove situation.. Sometimes it is better to keep skin to skin contact.. And it is not like they don't wash their hands.. Nicu nurses are careful with every single miracle that has to be placed in there.. I think this child is a perfect miracle..
I was born premature at 3 months and im fine. im skinny but i look the same as every other kid. The doctors said i would be stupid and couldnt walk and talk and learn. well i am an A and B student and can do all that stuff that they said i couldnt do........ stupid doctors in 1996:)
@Avurie - yes doctors are not always the most sensitive creatures - great to hear that you have proved them wron in every way. i hope my boy is also an A - B student when he is your age!
My beloved friend Noe, was born two months early in 1962, poor thing!! he's very sensitive. That's what they say it happens to premature babies when the grow up. Now he's almost 49 and is a handsome tall mexican mangazo.
aw poor ting im premature and really unhealthy i can only imagen the things this boor bay will have to go through i almost died at one week only and have had a few encounters with death to were i had only hours left before being pronounced dead....
I was also a preemie, born at 26 weeks gestation and weighing in at 2 lbs. 2 ounces. I actually wasn't supposed to make it because my mom was close to death, so I had to be taken out; however, the hospital she was currently at didn't have a NICU that was equipped for a baby like me. So, they then life flighted my mom to St. Luke's and managed to keep both of us alive. 9 weeks, 2 blood transfusions, and 5 failed attempts to take me off a ventilator, I went home on Christmas Eve in a stocking.
I was born 2 months early, at only 3 pounds, and lost my triplet before we were born (so I was born with twin instead who was only 5 lbs.).I had to stay in the hospital for a month. But I'm perfectly healthy now and in high school. I want to be a neonatal nurse, neonatologist, or pediatrician. :)
This video reminds me of my little guy. He was 1 pound 8 oz, at 27 weeks. Now he's a 70 pound 8 year old! These NICUs are amazing! God bless these babies... as well as all the staff that work so hard to save their lives!. Bye the way, I think the bag is to protect the baby's skin because it is so thin...
wow i remember after having my daughter she had to go in the NICU and i saw so many premature babies it was sad, some of them were so so so tiny after spending time wid my little girl i'd walk around and look at all the other babies in the unit and just pray for all of them knowing that they r in there for different reasons my daughter was slightly jaundice but i was able to take the home the same day i got discharge i hope this baby is doing well
aww thanks for letting me know...this baby is amazing though wish i could stay by and hold it tight.it seemed so frightened!! hope its fit and healthy now!!
The plastic bag helps the kiddos maintain an adequate body temp. He's most likely on a warming table as well, to help out with temp regulation. Looks like he's doing great! What a fighter. I wish all 28 weekers came out looking like him.

Hey, this video of your son has been stolen, and has been uploaded on a nother page, they are claiming it is the baby named 'megatron' if your familiar with that facebook page. The video is titled: 1 million 'likes' & my wife will agree to call our baby Megatron. youtube.com/watch?v=Gd4nJS0RmIM

I was premature too. I weight in less than 1 kg (970 grams or something). I was supposed to be born in november but was born in september. When i was in my mother's womb the doctor said I'm gonna die in womb or will be severely handicapped or retarded. I looked dead in the pictures (dead or too handicapped to move). However when I was born I was complitely normal. I have never had any complications or illnesses eversince. I'm perfectly healthy. Some things just are miraculous :)

Thank you so much for sharing this. My first daughter was born at 26 weeks gestation, just over a pound, and unfortunately didn't make it. My second daughter was born 2 years later at 31 weeks gestation, 2 lbs, 19 oz. We spent hours in the NICU with her. She was there for a grand total of 44 days, and every second of it was a struggle. But they're fighters! My little girl will be 2 soon, and she continues to amaze everyone she comes in contact with. Blessings to you and your family!

My nearly 22-year-old daughter was born weighing 2lbs 10.5oz; was in a incubator for nearly 3 months and on a ventilator (on & off) for 7 weeks. This reminded me soo much when my Cait was born I was in tears! I hope your son is doing well.....preemies that are fighters (and from the looks of it he was and probably still is) do so well...she's off to Queens University Belfast in 15 days for a specialized summer class! Cheers and God bless you and your son!

@ECCRN1996 - thankyou for your comment - as always i love hearing about ' older' premmies. you must be so very proud of your daughter (just be prepared....Belfast it may not just be for summer! both my sisters went to Europe at a similar age, -one went for a summer short course in Venice and came home 5 years later, married with a child! and the other after 3 years of travelling... :) My son is well in all respects and was and still is a fighter & determined in anything he does.Nic

endayafamily 7 months ago
holy crap, our resus protocol is different, but we don't remove the plastic bag until the baby is transfered to an incubator and has 2 consecutive temperature readings that are normal... Removing the bag now causes hypothermia and potentially an IVH due to cold stress. Hope your little one is fine now! :)

@sheray2929 Why? Don't you see they are trying to help their son? he needs to stay warm bc he is too small for clothes.. And he needs help with his breathing too.. as for the glove situation.. Sometimes it is better to keep skin to skin contact.. And it is not like they don't wash their hands.. Nicu nurses are careful with every single miracle that has to be placed in there.. I think this child is a perfect miracle..

theprotectshade 9 months ago
I was also a preemie, born at 26 weeks gestation and weighing in at 2 lbs. 2 ounces. I actually wasn't supposed to make it because my mom was close to death, so I had to be taken out; however, the hospital she was currently at didn't have a NICU that was equipped for a baby like me. So, they then life flighted my mom to St. Luke's and managed to keep both of us alive. 9 weeks, 2 blood transfusions, and 5 failed attempts to take me off a ventilator, I went home on Christmas Eve in a stocking.
