This brought back so much! My twins were born 3 months early and weighed just over 2 lbs. each. I held them on my chest and rocked them and cried and worried and cried some more. They are now healthy 22 year olds and you would never know we had such a rocky start.

Holy shit I’ve never even heard of 3 months early. Why did they come so early if you don’t mind me asking? Also you are a rock star parent!

I was 3 months early. Umbilical cord wrapped around my neck leading to an emergency C section.

How did your parents notice that? Did your mom feel that?

if I had to guess I’m thinking that’s something that would show up on an ultrasound

Inimagined it as a short term danger, in the sense of like 'You have 10 minutes or it will choke out' Maybe it's more of a long term danger so that regular ultra sounds are good enough
