The Story of Alayna Marrie
Thoughtfully submitted by reader’s Marria and Raul.
Alayna Marrie was born at 32 weeks in Brandon,Fl., due to my preeclampsia. All throughout my pregnancy she was a fighter. I was in and out of the emergency room, for spotting, severe headaches, high blood pressure…till they had to hospitalize me at 30 weeks for preeclampsia and the goal was to keep me pregnant till she reached full term. As you can see I only lasted 2 weeks. Her heart rate and vitals stayed strong throughout the 36 hours of delivery, I was touch and go there for awhile so at the last minute I had a emergency c-section.
Eventhough, Alayna soared through the NICU and was released in only 2weeks, she then had a relapse and was admitted to St. Joesph Childrens Hospital with apnea and reflux. We pray to God everyday our baby girl soars through this also.

thats too early to send home at “34 weeks” What was that NICU thinking?!? Poor little Alayna and her parents! they only learn to properly feed ar 34 weeks + the whole sucking and breathing!

my daughter was born at 31 weeks and 3 days she was home by day 17. She had no problems
But i was so scared taking such a tiny baby home x
my son was born at 31 weeks 6 days he was in the hospital for a month
my twins where born at 28w5d and spent 2 months in the hospital..
My son was born just two days shy of 32 weeks, spent 4.5 weeks in the NICU, it’s amazing this little one got out so soon, but then, came right back.
my little girl was born at 27 weeks weighing 1lb 6oz, she spent 78 days in hospital,came home at 38 weeks. Im glad she wasnt allowed home any earlier.
My Alice was a 30 weeker and went home at 8w4d (38w4d)
As I said at the start, what that hospital did was wrong! Alice was no where near ready at “34″ weeks to go home! bad, BAD hospital!
my son 26 weeker spent 120 days in nicu and re admitted 24 hours after discharge.
