Often the doctors opinion is that it's better to have a prem baby to be born safely by c-sect, than to chance labour when there's no previous birthing experience.

This was the case for us when my twins were born at 35 weeks. (twin 2 was high risk so would have had to endure 2 labours).

Hugs to your sister, NICU is a daunting experience for parents. Bubs is in the best care possible though.

My mum had my brother at 27 weeks and 740gm. That was 11 years ago, he is now a healthy tall boy who is at or above the levels in school.

It is a real rollercoaster but there is hope and they are really so good in there!!]]> Mon, 03 Oct 2011 07:45:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40656&PID=1394469&title=baby-born-at-28-weeks#1394469 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40656&PID=1394385&title=baby-born-at-28-weeks#1394385 Author: NovemberMum

Different situation but I delivered Jared at 22w vaginally. My body wasnt ready and its way more painful than a full term delivery but beats having a c/s]]> Sat, 01 Oct 2011 17:37:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40656&PID=1394152&title=baby-born-at-28-weeks#1394152 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40656&PID=1394134&title=baby-born-at-28-weeks#1394134 Author: mummymonster

From what I've read you can delivery vaginally - provided it won't put extra stress on your or bubs. If Baby is head-down, bum-up and the cervix is favourable. ]]> Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:42:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40656&PID=1394118&title=baby-born-at-28-weeks#1394118 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40656&PID=1394073&title=baby-born-at-28-weeks#1394073 Author: maya22
