Nicu Stays By Gestation

Average NICU stay by gestation, as collected from the Twinstuff community.

Thanks to 3plusTwins for deciphering our broken code!

Just wanted to add my data: My last set of twins (who suffered from stage IV TTTS) were born at 24 weeks and 5 days. Baby A, Christopher, Jr., weighed 2 lbs. 4 oz., while baby B, Joseph, weighed 1 lb. 9 oz. Christy spent 140 days in NICU and Joey spent 152 days in NICU. They are perfectly healthy 18 mo. olds now.

 

These charts would be superhelpful, but I can't seem to read them- they are all in computer code instead of chart. Anybody else having this issue?

 

There is a "sticky" link up at the top of the threads Not sure why this one popped up

 

Stephanie (ECUBitzy) is aware of the problem with the coding, but I'm not sure if she's had a chance to look at it yet.

Love,
Stephanie's secretary

 

Why thank you, Bex!

Yes, the link has died somehow and I'm going to have to get it fixed. It's likely going to be after the new year before I fight that battle, but I promise I'm on it!

 

:thanks: Steph!

 

I will decipher the code for in the meantime, to basic text.

I could kiss you!

 

Awe, no problem. I was deciphering for myself anyway, because I was curious, so I figured I might as well post it to help everyone else out too Thanks to whoever found this information and put it together!!

 

It was compiled over a year or so from all of the members who submitted their info. It's really useful stuff when people smarter than me can figure it out.
