I was Born Premature?

Question

ok so i was born premature and im perfectly healthy but i have a lot better metabolism than the rest of my family and i was wondering if being born premature can effect you during puberty?

Answer 1

I was born pre-mature and I have a good metabolism as well ...

But I don't think there is a connection, I just think it's the luck of the draw =]

I was born @ 7 months (32 weeks.)

Answer 2

I was born at 33 weeks, and while I'm not overweight at all, I wasn't born with great metabolism.  Have to work hard at it!

Answer 3

not that i know of

Answer 4

No. I'm pretty sure not. I have 2 sets of preemie boy-girl twin siblings & they are all healthy and of different sizes. The youngest ones are still kinda small, but the older ones are average sized.

Answer 5

Hi,

I was born at 28 weeks, I am now 19 years old.

I have to admit I'm quite tiny but i eat a lot. I don't seem to be able to put on weight (i have been the same weight for 5 or so years!)

As for the puberty thing - everything is normal with me so I am sure you will be fine as well.
