One of my kids was taken out 6 weeks early for fear the pregnancy was endangered. My baby was in the two pound range and was in the nicu for nearly a month. I ran daily to the hospital. It was a very hard experience to see other parents bringing their newborns home healthy and full term with no fears. People seemed sorry for me rather than happy. That child now is much older, in school, and you would never know there were any issues at birth. Another child of mine was also a preemie when my water broke early, and now, years later, has caught up. So, I’ve had lots of experience with it.
