Ex 27+6 micro preemie twins are now 4!
My mcda twin girls were born at 27+6 due to sIUGR. They were 456g and 947g at birth.
My small twin had:
Grade 4 bilateral ivh
Chronic lung disease (9 weeks on NIPPV 5 weeks cpap - came home on low flow)
ROP
Blood transfusions
Infections
My big twin had:
Five weeks of cpap.
Post discharge within the first year my wee one had 14 hospital admissions for respiratory illnesses. Three of which landed her in the ICU.
The girls are now four (!!) and have no ongoing major health problems.
My small twin has hearing aids and is still very small (less than 1st centile) but other than that has met all milestones.
Her ivh had resolved before nicu discharge and she has never had any issues with movement
Just sharing this for a little bit of hope for anyone who is still in the trenches
