.On .Saturday at 2:25 am my friend gave birth to her daughter .Erica 5 pounds 4 ounces. She delivered at 5 cm. No cuts, stitches or rips. She only screamed during pushing when they told her to wait a sec, but everything else went smoothly.

I went to see her saturday morning at 8 am this girl is cutting her toe nails. I am so freaking mad but thankful that both she and the baby are healthy and doing well.

I was 10cm and ripped too and my daugher was 6lbs 9 oz. My friend had a 5lb baby and by the looks of him he'd be to big to deliver at 5cm. Why didn't they wait till she was 10?

I thought it was anything under 36 weeks?

Because I went into premature labor and they had to fly me out of my small town because they don't have a nicu and they said I couldn't go home until I was 36 weeks because thats when they're not considered preemies
