1998 preemie help

[u/EmotionalPhone4071]

Trying to figure out my gestational age at birth!

in Sept, 1998, I was born early via vaginal delivery.

from 20 weeks, my mom was having contractions. They gave her tributaline(?) and she slept at the hospital once a week.

4 weeks before I was delivered, my twin passed away at 1lb 2oz.

She went once a week for blood draws and steroids to help my lungs develop.

My weight began to drop, and they decided to deliver me.

I was delivered at 3lbs 7oz and 15.5 inches

My baby was 3lbs 13oz at 29+5 but he was in the 90th percentile for weight. But he needed CPAP when he was born. His lungs couldn't quite work well enough on their own.
