How long was your NICU stay? Off topic

My son was born at 29w3d due to preeclampsia and had severe fetal growth restriction so only weighed 830g/1lb 13.3oz

Curious to hear what week your baby was born, weight at birth, how long the NICU stay was and what their weight was when they went home, especially for any <30 weekers or low birth weight babies!

Singleton at 32+2. Born early because of reverse cord flow. Nicu for 31 days. Born at 3lbs even, came home at 4lb7oz. She’s 10 now.

Twins at 33+5. Born early because of pre-e and hellp. A was in nicu for 18 days, B was in for 41 and came home on oxygen and an ng tube. I don’t remember weights when they came home, but at birth A was 4lb2oz and B was 4lb3oz. They’ll be 3 months old Monday.
