It doesnt matter if you full term some babys need extra care and looking after to make sure their ok. since he had strocks or any other problem as was writen thats why he had to stay in the INCU. Hope your little boy is doing great, very cute baby.

@madihaaquarius18 im 39 weeks now, i asked my doctor and she said 36 weeks is full term some places it depends on your hospital/doctor not location

If he is 36 weeks old, then why is he in a INTENSIVE care unit i don't get it. He really isn't that premature, only another week and he would be considered full term so why does he need intensive care?? Please explain why he had to have all those tubes and wires in him??

[steffismalls]

@xplor4grl . Sebastian suffered several strokes in utero and was unable to breath on his own thus the tube going to his mouth and nose. The other lines were to monitor his breathes per minute, heart rate and other levels. He also had lines directly going in through his belly button to check his blood gases. Aside from this, in the U.S any baby that is not full term goes to the NICU for a short period of time until they are full term. Do you get it now?
