premature birth?


I`m now 25 weeks pregnant with alittle girl and i`m starting to get rather stressed as i went into labour at 26 weeks with my son, next week!!
i`m down as being high risk and having extra scans, i was there just last week and everything was ok but i also went for my 24 week scan with my son and still gave birth 2 weeks later, they cant even tell me for definate what caused my sons premature birth, they did mention something about ruptured placenta but said they weren`t certain, so what exactly is this and is there anyway i can avoid it happening again?
My son was in the scbu for 3 long hard months, took infections was on morphine etc etc, he`s now 5 and started school last year, he has verbal dyspraxia but since starting his special needs school where he gets the help he needs he`s come on leaps and bounds!

I would suggest you ask your doctor for a ffn test, it tells with a accruacy of 99% if your at risk for pre term labor in the next two weeks I put a website below to explain it better, How did you son fair in his premmie birth?

Premature birth..?


What are the chances if I was premature and my brother was that my baby will be?
----------

everyone is different. My son was premature.. 28 weeks. I am pregnant with my second baby and I just hit 40 weeks.

If you were a preemie and your brother was? Who knows. Your doctor can do a scan to calculate the length of your cervix. If your mom had a short cervix, you might too. Its hard to say why both of you were preemies...but chances are you will be just fine.

Loads of rest and lots of open communication between you and your doctor is the best bet.  (+ info)

I was wondering if maybe my premature birth could have caused this.

Maggie gave birth 2 a premature infant.What can the nurse tell her about the associated developmental outcomes?


a. socioeconomic status is unrelated to developmental outcomes
b. premature infants are not considered high risk infants
c. the more premature babies weigh and the closer to term they are born, the less risk of negative outcomes
d. premature babies with no visible problems are at equal risk as premature babies with visible problems
----------

C - I think it's C because doctors try to get the baby to stay in the mom for as long as possible....the longer the baby stays in utero the better chance of being healthy and less risks it has in the world.  (+ info)

Why am I so short could a premature birth, affect someone height?


My friend is 16 years old and shes a vegitarian, she was also born premature and is a female, 5 " 3 tall.

Could the premature birth have effect on her growth as in height?She was born at 6 months so 3 months premature...

Any explanation or reason would be a great help.

It sounds to me like your friend is perfectly normal!
My cousin was born very early, weighing on 2 pounds, and there's nothing wrong with her.
5'3 isn't too short. I'm 23 years old and only 4'11, and i wasn't born early or anything!
You or your friend have nothing to worry about. To be on the safe side, GO SEE A DOCTOR.  (+ info)
