I couldnt run a bath at the moment, but hoping to be back in form soon! None of us have had prem babies, but thought it was a worthwhile cause. Wendy |

Hi Wendy,
My son was born 8 weeks premature weighing only 3lb 7oz (10 years ago), but thanks to the dedication of the special care baby unit he was strong enough to leave 4 weeeks before his due date, thankfully he wasnt a dependant prem baby, but non the less they are such a dedicated section of the maternity unit in the hospital and have my utmost respect for the lives they handle and touch with their caring nature. Ade
