     I don't know about that....
     
     My son was born at 31 weeks after trying to stop labor for 
     4 days.  He was in NICU for 5 weeks.
     
     The twins were born at 30 weeks after stoping labor for 6 weeks
     and they were in NICU for 8 weeks.
     
     The twins definately had more medical intervention before they
     were born, but spent more time in the NICU.
     
     Go figure!

I have been told (I don't recall by whom) that preemie girls generally do 
better in Neo than boys.  Is there any truth to this or is it just an old 
wive's tale?
