Abstract
Our boys were all born prematurely. Sam, now ten, arrived at 34 weeks and four days. The twins, Finn and Zack, now five, were born at just 28 weeks and two days. The impact is ongoing for all three of them, and for us as a family.
Sam suffered from reflux and colic, both of which are more common in premature babies. He had frequent bouts of croup and is still susceptible to it.
