Thank you for sharing your story.. My daughter was born May 24 2009 at 25 weeks... She's doing a lot better now, but it has been quite a journey! Glad to know your son is doing great~~ Gives us some hope!

We are proud to share it. I am glad to hear that you're daughter is doing well. It is such a rollercoaster of a journey. Stay strong and I hope all goes well. P.S. Statistically girls do better than boys.

Thank God for your angel and the strength that allowed you guys to be strong parents. i am currently in the hospital on bed rest fighting to get my daughter to stay in my womb because im 24ks and 3days today. i have started does of the betamethadone steroid to help the baby produce surfactant sooner in case she is born soon. i have cervical incompetence and i lost a baby boy at 20 wks. i got a cerclage this go around at 13 wks but my cervix around it has shortened and slightly funneled.

@catcart1234 i am so happy to see your son survived, at the same time sad, for i had a premature baby boy borl also at 24 weeks gestational, but he was not able to survive, i am from he philippines, and we do not have that technology to save my boy, that was also the doctors told me, until now i still can feel the pain, that was dec 2006. i have a 1 yr old daughter now who is also born 34 weeks premature but so healthy that they were not able to put her in the incubator. i still long for my son
