    Hi @Diligent500 - welcome to Scope's community!

    I was born very prematurely myself- I was 2 pounds 7 ounces altogether, and also have some wide-ranging health issues.

    I'd be happy to chat with you!

    Becca :)

    Hi @Diligent500.

    Welcome to the Community.

    I was about 2 and a half months premature, and weighed about 1.5 lbs. the day after I was born.

    Happy to chat.

    I was born 3 months premature and have issues with my back, and following a car accident now also suffer from pain to joints and muscles. Unable to work at the moment and now going down to half pay. I have a twin and I was born 10 minutes before him.
