When my babe was born, they said it was premature. It weighed only four pounds; but God let it live.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Around 20 million premature and low-birth weight babies are born every year and are at high risk of death or disability because of hypothermia.
Two premature babies was not a genetic thing; we were just unlucky.
Anybody who knows about having a premature baby, it's horrific. He was part of a twin, and I lost his sister.
He was born early. But he was born within a safe range of premature.
The truth is that I love my baby to bits, but the rest of it sucked. Pregnancy was the biggest killer for me. I hated it - I hated being fat.
The main concern with a very large baby is difficulty in delivery.
With longer life spans and better health and education, many feel that giving birth to a baby a mere couple of decades after they themselves were in the cradle is a little premature.
Centuries ago it may have been difficult for pregnant women and their children to get proper nourishment, probably leading to smaller - and therefore shorter-lived - adults.
I was 17 pounds when I was born. My mother couldn't walk for three weeks.
Eighteen months before I was born, my mother was in Auschwitz. She weighed 49 pounds. She always told me that God saved her so she could give me life. I was born out of nothing.
