I was born at 32 weeks, 3 lbs... the greatest difficulty for me was the underdeveloped lungs. Touch and go for two months, but then I thrived. My brother was smaller, 2 lbs, 12 oz. My mother had one stillborn child and five premature babies. After her sixth pregnancy, the doctors determined that more than likely the placentas were underdeveloped, and thus birth was triggered at an earlier stage. The doctors believed that we were being starved of nutrition, and that this is why birth happened prematurely each time. Not being a physician, I cannot vouch for this.

Your mother is a strong courageous woman to continue bringing beautiful babies into the world in spite of the obstacles in front of her.
