My son's partner is in hospital - their first child, and my first grandchild, is due on 1st October but things have not gone to plan. It seems the baby is not growing and may have lost weight so he/she will be induced and born in the next two days. The baby will only weigh about 3-4 pounds. I never thought I would be a grandma.

Aww Christine,

Hope things go well for the little one, Parents and yourself.

God bless

HI Christine,

hope all goes well, my granddaughter was 3 pounds and 9 weeks prem, she was 12 ins long was a tiny mite fitted in oh hand, she was only in a incubator 24 hours, no problems at all other than she was like a little doll at 12 months and looked 3 months and walking saying words, she is now 15 in 2 months doing very well at school no health problems to shout about, so try not to worry,

Hi Christine,

Sending lots of positive thoughts to your son and his partner. Hope the little one arrives safe and well.

Take care of yourself

Crispen, your son's partner is in the right place!!
the baby will only be 3 weeks early and 3 - 4 lbs is not uch a problem nowadays.
I was 6 weeks early in 1956 - true they couldn't tell if I had lost weight, I was 4 and a half pounds (very light for those days). My full term elder sister weighed 9 lbs.
Intensive care consisted of putting me in an incubator and seeing if I would survive - nothing like nowadays!!
Well, I've reached the age of 52. Got a degree when I was 43 and found out in January of this year that I had been existing all those years with one - after checks - very healthy kidney - that had never been noticed!!! The scan also showed my spleen and liver (despite hepatitis as a child and a rather strong liking for red wine) to be healthy too!!

You will be a granny - positive thoughts shooting through cyberspace for the baby, your son, your son's partner, her parents and you.

Hi

I hope all goes well for the birth of your grandchild, i had 2 of mine 3 weeks early, one was 7lb 1oz & the other 8lb 1oz. (& i was told that they would be small)
The hospitals have all the equipment needed for tiny prem babies.
I will keep your family in my thoughts
