Premature Births

Hi, Just wanting some advice I gave birth almost 14 weeks ago at 34w4 At 34w1 I had a bit of spotting and went to hospital for anti d injection - they performed an examination like how a smear test would be with a speculum and swap The next day my waters started to trickle and at 34w4 I had my little girl as a natural vaginal birth

I have often wondered if this examination could have been what caused my early labour Curious if any of you guys had anything similar happen to you

Thanks💕

I just wanted to share 1 of my premmies birthday. This is my 3rd micro premmie Alexi was born at 28 weeks.

My baby has reflux so bad, I’ve talked to the drs and everything and I just feel at a loss. The moment we lay him down he aspirate and I hate to see him in pain. We started famotadine a couple days ago but he’s still looking like he’s in pain. Has anyone else been through this? What did yall do? Maybe im being impatient with the medicine.

What are everyone’s routines for their little ones? My twins are 8 weeks old, they were born at 33 weeks. We feed them every 3-4 hours, but I don’t know how to go about the night feeds. A lot of moms at this stage start to see longer stretches of the night without feeding, but because ours are preemies, I’ve been told by nurses not to let them go beyond 4 hours without feeds. This means we are waking them up in the night to feed sometimes. Is anyone else having to do this too? At which point do I not need to worry about this anymore and can let them sleep longer? I’m having a hard time navigating the preemie side of things, the stages and milestones babies would normally reach don’t apply to my little ones so I don’t know if I should be worried if they are behind or if this normal all preemie babies? Any advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone ever had issues with Oxygen desats during baby’s feeds , we’ve changed her teet today hopefully that changes sometbing , only thing that’s holding us from being discharged from NICU 🥹
