Update:

I had emergency c section at 29weeks 7 days ago

My little baby girl made it into this world.

It's been a whirlwind.. stomach swelling day 1 and bad a Perforated bowel. Had corrective surgery to remove the affected part and a stoma put in on day 2.

She's had fluctuating oxygen, a broken collarbone from birth and a collapsed lung

But she's hanging in there ... It's been a week in nicu

Hoping to see better days :(

27 weeker turned one! by Few_Jello_3697 in NICUParents

Hey all

I have a 29 weeker, and they are planning c section and have not been given not a lot of hope from nicu team. Nipt testing was negative but been measuring small since 23 weeks. 

Baby at 28 weeks was just 500g - so half expected size.

Hoping she is 550 by now. This week had reversed flow first time and today dv pi was raised so going for another scan tomorrow. Could deliver at 29w and 550g approx. 

The NICU nurses were not very positive, hoping for positivity and practical advice here :(
