This was my second preemie. My first was 34 weeks and has cerebral palsy. My second daughter was my smallest, but she was healthier than her sister. I also had a full term son, my first born. She was in the NICU for 2 weeks,but needed no interventions other than to grow. Number 4 was a son born at 32 weeks. With all of these my water broke at exactly 4 days before delivery. He was in the NICU for 3 days and I took him home AMA. Next was a girl at 32 weeks, the only one on a vent. She came home 2 weeks later, after a big fight with the NICU doctors. They didn't want to release her. I had betamethasone with the last three and it seemed to help. I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and if anyone knows of any way to help me or some information I need I would appreciate it.
