World's Smallest Baby

October 17th 2007 11:27

The record for the smallest premature baby to survive was held for some time by Madeline Mann, who was born at 26 weeks weighing 9.9 oz (280 g) and 9.5 inches (24 cm) long. This record was broken in September 2004 by Rumaisa Rahman, who was born in the same Chicago hospital at 25 weeks gestation. The new record holder was a twin whereas the former was a single birth. At birth she was eight inches (20 cm) long and weighed 244 grams (8.6 ounces). Her twin sister was also a small baby, weighing 563 grams (1 pound 4 ounces) at birth. During pregnancy their mother had suffered from pre-eclampsia, which causes dangerously high blood pressure putting the baby into distress and leading to birth by caesarean section. The larger twin left the hospital at the end of December, while the smaller remained there until 10 February 2005 by which time her weight had increased to 1.18 kg (2 pounds 10 ounces). Generally healthy, the twins had to undergo laser eye surgery to correct visual problems, a common occurrence among premature babies.

Oh my goodness it looked like a kidney bean! I'm so glad the babies are doing well now - they must be hardy little things.

Ahhh! These pictures are a bit hard for a mum to look at. It gives me a pain in my tummy!
Like Michaelie, I really hope they are doing well and have no ongoing health or developmental issues.

i had my son at 23weeks 3days he never took a breath when he was born. it broke my heart, two years later i had another son born at 37weeks and healthy and i dnt take 1 second for granted i enjoy every second. the way i got through losing my first son was knowing that he was too good for this world and that he was needed as an angel. rip my brave little boy xxxx

[COLOR=Purple]My 18 year old cousin gave birth at 25 weeks. Her daughter weighed 1 lb and was 11 in long. She was able to breathe by herself without the ventillator at only 5 days old. She now weighs 5 lb 8 oz. She is a miracle baby and is now coming home within the next week(:

On April 16,2009 I had a premature baby as well as you guys. I had my baby girl Miracle at 26 weeks she weighed 1lb-11oz. She went from having a chest tube to having open heart surgery and was on a ventilator for 2 months. She even came home on oxygen for a month. We just not to long ago celebrated her 1st birthday.

When i was born i wasnt born early but i had my imbilical cord rapped around my neck and i was blue for 12 hours.Also my little brother was born early weighing about 1lb.The doctors said he was healthy. But he stayed in the hospital till he weighed almosts 5 pounds.But when he came home.He had coughing fits and his face would turn blue.We brought him to the doctors alot within a month. They didnt know what was wrong.So my mom brought him to a new doctor and they found ouy what was wrong within minutes His breathing level was so low they were supprised he was still alive. He had asma.What im trying to say is never take your child for granted. My mom almost lost two kids and is lucky today to have them both. Those babies were touched by god. They are miracles you can see. Good luck and i hope for the best

I was born in May 1994, at 26 weeks. (My mother had Pre-eclampsia in her first pregnancy, where my sister was still born at 22 weeks in 1992.
I weighed 1 pound and was 26 cm long. I was on life support for two days, and then I had oxygen through a nasal cannula. At 2 months, I had an open heart surgery to close my septum. I came home after five months, but still had eating problems till the age of seven. I must have been a gift of God (not boasting, or anything) because even if I survived, there wouldn't have been a chance for me to lead a normal life. I have nothing wrong with me. In comparison to another girl, who was born the day after me at 27 weeks, was not so fortunate as myself, she has an oxygen tank and has just learnt to walk.
I hope to give back to the world as a doctor, to save the lives of babies as tiny as these.

God Bless

I had my 1st daughter Alyssa Oct. 18 2010 at 19 weeks. She didn't make it. Didnt even breathe when i delivered her. I ended up having an incompetent cervix and the doctor had no idea. They said the next time i get pregant i would have to have a cerclage put in. I found out i was pregnant April 15, 2011 with my 2nd daughter Hailey. I started dialating at 15 weeks so they put a cerclage in. i was put on bed rest for half days. I made it to 27 weeks and went into labor at 1cm. i was in the hospital for a week on permananent bed rest. At 28 weeks went into labor at 5cm and later that night on Sept. 29, 2011 she was born. She is a miracle. She was crying and breathing on her own. no bleeding in her brain. all she had to do was stay in the NICU and gain weight and learn how to eat. She was due December 19, 2011 but came home a day before thanksgiving at 4 1/2 pounds. Now she is almost 10 months old at about 18 pounds. She is my world and miracle baby.
