Preemie or premmie is used in Australia too.

UK here, pretty sure everyone in the country knows this one. Think there was a memo...

Single mention on BBC.co.uk (and that's from an American).

There's 72 mentions on the Guardian website, except when you go to the actual stories to search most of them don't use the preemie word, and search was helpfully subbing a word.

There are 2 hits on the Independant.co.uk website.

It's just not very common over here.

I was prem, and my step kid was prem, I spent a month living in the special care unit with her at Sheffield hospital and I've never heard it.

In the UK, the only person i've heard use it was an American.
