[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 377363"] I can tell you that 29 weekers do well and looking for brain bleeds is a common procedure for all preemies. Checking out the GI track is also common for all preemies. The surfactant (steroids for the lungs) can also be given directly to the lungs of the baby through a tube into the lungs too (they did it with my 29 weeker) so if she did not make the 36 hours (and I hope she did, the longer baby stays the better off baby is, even if it's by minutes, every minute counts) they have options for the lungs outside of utero too. I pray that the baby does very well and that mom has no lasting issues either. If they or you want two stories of experiences of premature babies I'm more than happy to PM you my number and I will talk with all of you. The out come now a days for premature babies is very great prognosis for them. Our technology has come a very, very long way. Her best best is to breastfeed or to pump and bottle feed the breast milk, even if it's just while baby is in NICU. Bring Kanga Care too (most NICUs already do this though, it's part of their policies). Call on me if you need something, I may even still have preemie clothes kicking around (my pack rat nature) and even a couple of baby slings and carriers that may come of use later on if they need it. I've had a 29 weeker and a 33 weeker. Nearly had my second child at 24 weeks. Bless you all, you all will make it through this. [/QUOTE]
