Prem baby mums

I took my little one to our first play group today and I couldn’t help but notice how tiny my little one is compared to everyone else. He was 5 weeks early and for some reason I’ve always felt really guilty about my body not being able to carry him for longer. Today I saw all these bigger babies interacting a lot more and it’s filled me with so much sadness. I wondered if anyone else has felt the same? 🩵

My little girl was 4 weeks early and seeing the pictures of and hearing the weight of other babies she is tiny still in newborn and size 0 nappies she's 8 weeks tomorrow x

My baby was premature too, she's 10 weeks old on Saturday and just coming out of size 0 nappies now really too. I had eclampsia so I had to have an emergency C section to have her. I know how you feel but don't feel guilty, you're doing amazing and wanted to be here early ☺️ x

My little boy was 4 weeks early and had a stint in special care. He's 9 weeks and 2 days old and is only just out of tiny baby clothing! I've also felt really guilty about my body not being able to carry him for further and how its impacted him since being born.. but i just keep reminding myself that I'm doing the best now he's in the world and I literally couldn't help getting preeclampsia xx

My baby went full term, but I still get that feeling. Went to a baby group and the person running said (kindly) how old is she, you win the prize for getting out of the house with the smallest baby! There were 2 other babies the same age, just twice the size 🤣 it’s hard to not feel on the defense when someone says something or you notice the size difference, I’m EBF so also makes me worry I’m not doing enough to feed her, even though she’s happy and growing so clearly getting enough. Sending love ❤️

Feel this My baby was 5wks early and has just started to get out of premmie clothes at 8wks old He’s now 8lb15
