Scientists Have Created An Artificial Womb


Recommended Posts

 

My daughter was born 7 weeks premature and while she was one of the stronger babies in the maternity hospital intensive care unit at 3 pound 11 ounces. I did get to see other babies in the same unit some as little as 1 pound weight and hanging on to survival by a thread. They were all been kept alive by incubators and various tubes and oxygen masks which is all artificial. So if there was anything extra that would give those babies a chance at life then I'm all for it and fcuk the ethical critics. It is a frightening place to be and one thing that I remember most is the before and after photos on the walls of once 1 pound babies that would fit on the palm of your hand that are now perfect healthy 4 year old kids that survived and came back in to thank the staff and nurses on scbu ward that saved their lives. Many parents never got to bring their baby home and I thank god only for modern technology I got to bring my healthy daughter home.

 

 

 

my daughter was born 3 months premature at a pound and a qtr it was touch and go for a few months she had to get big op to remove some of he intestines at 5 weeks which nearly killed her a few times we were told she wasnt going to make it but she never stopped fighting she went through an awfull lot before she was even soposed to be born,i remeber going up to see her one day and she was swollen up about 5 times her size that was a horrible time to go through,shes 14 now and a keen dog lover and loves a night out on the lamp.

its amazing how the will to survive is so strong in such a tiny baby. They don't quit they probably haven't learnt how to quit at that stage. An adult would just give up if faced with a similar battle.
