Bea scored another perfect score on the biometric test this morning. She was a little hungover from last nights antics so it took a while for her to wake up and start moving around. Apparently they watched her sleep for about 10 minutes with very regular and deep breaths, the nurses liked the deep regular full breaths she was making. She woke up in time to start bouncing around to complete the active skill section of her test.
The nurse practitioner also indicated that between 30 and 32 weeks the high level NICU time diminishes drastically such that at 32 weeks babies typically don't need to go to the high level NICU, they have a lower level unit that they keep them in until they're ready to go home. That confirms the lack of stats after 1500 grams the NICU nurse showed us earlier. She also said fatalities and abnormalities of 32 week babies are the same as full term babies. Being a little skeptical without reading stats myself, I think there's probably a little difference, but apparently it's considered not significant.
