My singleton was born at 33 weeks 5 days. He weighed 5 pounds and 4 ounces. He was 17 3/4 inches long. Doc said he would have been well over 9 pounds had he been full term! YIKES!!

I had a 32 weeker, he was 4lbs 2oz and his lungs were mature. They were surprised for him being 8 weeks early.

My oldest daughter was born at 35 weeks weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and fully developed. They had the whole NICU team in there expecting her to be very small. When she came out that big and healthy, every left the room!

I had a premature single birth 4 weeks early. She was 7lbs 7oz and her lungs were not mature. They were surprised that for how big she was that her lungs weren’t developed and I also got steroid shots that would help them develop. I guess each birth is different and each child grows at their own pace inside. But I would say you were pretty lucky.
