Hi Natalie

its good to know that your prem is doing all well. Mine born last year at 30weeks in August and he stayed there for four weeks as they want them to stay until the due date but because he was doing well and breathing and sucking was good and he was gaining weight so then they think you and baby to discharge from there.

Mainly they want baby to start breastfeeding and looking after his/her weight.

hopefully your one come home soon so you can enjoy your motherhood.

Can't find your answer?
