Premie week

I saw 3 premies born the week after labor week. That was too sad. One baby was 25 weeks gestation. I think she is still alive. That baby was delivered via c-section. Mom had developed an infection. She was so upset in the OR that they had to put her to sleep instead of use an epidural. The other two babies were 23 week twins, almost 24 weeks. They were vaginal births. They were so small. So far only one has survived. This job is happy for the most part, but every now and then I think it is actually sadder than the ICUs.
