Our friends baby was born pre-mature and is only 2.5 lbs

One of DH's best friends wife developed pre-eclampsia and has been in the hospital for a few days. They had to take the baby today via emergency c-section and the baby is only 2.5 lbs. Chat Icon He wasn't due until the middle of January. Has anyone had a baby this pre-mature? DH said his friend sounded positive on the phone and said the baby was doing well, but 2.5 lbs is really small. I'm not sure what kind of complications can develop in a baby that small.

Pls. pray the baby is ok! Chat Icon Chat Icon

My ds was born at 32 weeks but was only developed to the size of a 28-29 weeker....2lbs 9 oz...14.5 inches...and today a very happy 10 month old...adjusted age of 8 months.....crawling, babbling, standing, walking with help....Chat Icon Chat Icon to your friend....

if you are looking to get her something...dr sears wrote a book on premature babies....basically a reference book for everything you need to know....very helpful....that way your friend wont be lost with all of the talk of vents, cpaps, pdas.....

fm me for anything.

Re: Our friends baby was born pre-mature and is only 2.5 lbs

I am happy to hear so many positive stories. I just can't even imagine what they are going through right now. It's just hard to overlook all the possibilities but like DH said, just think positive. He is in good hands.

I know several friends that have had preemies & micro-preemies. All are fine.

Many hugs & prayers for your friends. She's going to need some support going back & forth to the hospital.

Yes, my twin nephews were born 6 weeks early and weighed that. They both came home four weeks later from the NICU with no complications and are now 16 months and weigh almost 30 lb. I am sure everything will be okay. Chat Icon

We have friends who delivered a 1lb 5 oz baby boy last July at 25 weeks and he is healthy and thriving. 2lbs 5 ozs is really not that bad this day in age with what they have in the NICU. Chat Icon Chat Icon for your friends and baby.
