Re: Giving birth to a preemie
NeverMarried, from what I've learned, "average" is anywhere between 6 & 8 pounds with varying lengths. My son was 6lb 7oz at a week early. I think generally speaking the hospital considers an infant premature if they are born before the 36week gestation mark. Maybe other members can let me know if I'm right on that?
