Just as an aside - I just found out via faceook tonight about my old friend Alison - face book is great eh!?!

She had a little girl 2 weeks ago at 24 weeks.. they've wrapped her in a tesco bag (Uk equivalent of walmart) to keep her warm...

Best Wishes to Alison, Graham and especially little Alex!

Kelda, in 1987, my neigbor gave birth at just under 24 weeks to her son Nick, who weighed in at exactly 1 lb.  The hospital published a special brochure on his birth as no other baby had survived being born so early before then.  Let Alison know that Nick will be 22 in August, loved to play sports from a young age and is an honors student at his university.  Little Alex has a bright future.

If I remember right, every child is wrapped or covered up with a blanket or tesco bag after an careful examination. And they get a little cap to keep there head  warm.





From what I know, every child do get wrapped or covered up with some kind of bag or blanket. And they also get a little cap to keep there head from giving up heat.  That doesn't have anything to do with date of birth. More likely the mothers body temperature and the surroundings.
