I was born 2 months premature. I did have health problems concerning my respiratory system. Then just about a year ago, i started having problems with coughing and breathing. And i was underdeveloped too...but shukar its not a problem.

yea its coz of a lack of pulmonary sufactant...
@Lailadont worry prematurity wont affect ur respiratory system in the long run

If you are not getting enough oxygen to the vital organs of the body, then obviously that can lead to impairment of those organs! If certain parts of the brain are not well oxygenated, then it can lead to some kind of disability...

when a women is planned to have a premature baby for what ever reason she is given a course of IV steroids this prevents the syndrome
