Premature Births

posted by tonia on 20 Feb 2009 at 2:44 pm

This is in response to an article about a study re: premature birth/low birth weight effects on into adult life. I did not find this info to be very reliable, and I am requesting info. that is based on more "factual" info.
I was born in 1971, and was born 2 months premature - due to an accidental fall from my mother which brought on the birth. I am now almost 40, and have been experiencing several health issues. The primary focus being of a neurologic condition. Could this be related? Where can I obtain this info? any suggestions? Thank you!

My little brother who is 11 years old weighs 86lbs and is 4'11.. he hasn't gain weight or grew taller in 6 months, the doctors says nothing is wrong, but I think different. Can something be wrong with him?
