@munzurul This is great advice. We are at a University hospital and yesterday, our pediatrician came by along with his 6(!!!) medical students, who all came look at my little girl. You know, being hormonal and all, the motherly instinct kicked out and I was so close to telling them to f off...

@happyhopej We really have very similar stories! And you are right, people don’t get how hard it is, which can be so frustrating. After I shared my worries with my mom, she told me that “I raised two children, I know exactly how hard it is!” No… mom… you don’t. You said you cry when you leave...

@robslaybaugh Thank you for your kind reply and the well wishes. 🤍This is great advice, taking things one hour at a time and trying not focus on the fact that I’ll likely be here for over two months.

@njmom71 It is incredibly comforting to read that others felt the same way. Being here I felt that I was going crazy because nobody understands me, and I feared I am overreacting. Thank you for sharing your experience, I am glad it isn’t just all in my head and me being dramatic.

@jacpal Thank you for your kind words, awesome person 🤍 I am trying to focus on the last part that you said, that it will only be a distant memory. It also gives me comfort that she won’t remember this crappy place and the discomfort and the constant poking and needles. I just wish my husband...

@evnoca This is so incredibly comforting to hear, thank you! 🤍 I am so so happy for your healthy twins!💪

@siege777 Some of the comments I have got: After the delivery, I went to see my baby late at night (same hospital building, different department) and the nurse said “I see you have decided you want to take care of your baby now.” Proceed to me crying and feeling like the worst mom in the world...

@kiasoul The NICU I am staying at was opened a few months ago and it is apparently the best in the area. BUT, they have this new approach that moms are the official caregivers and literally cannot leave. I do ALL the baby care, including all the syringes and medicine and whatnot. In every three...

@mica45 People can be SO insensitive. After the delivery, my mom - a very respected clinical psychologist - told me that this is such a beautiful day and I should not be moping around. After I cried on the phone with her, she said I am being unfair to my husband who now has two people to worry...

@jsw3883 Thank you for your reply. Thinking of you and your strong little girl! 💪

Hi NICU parents. I apologize ahead for this mess of a text. I posted here two weeks ago about my PPROM at 28+0. After having stayed at the hospital for 9 days, I got a routine ultrasound done with some concerning results, so they decided to induce labor with Oxytocin. I guess they didn’t think...

@aceofgod Hey! I PPROMed at 28+0 for no apparent reason, went to the hospital and was induced 9 days later because ultrasound showed baby’s insufficient blood circulation. I was able to get two steroid shots and 10 hour drip of magnesium, so my baby came out at 29+2 in very good condition...
