@lmac45 Wow, he did incredibly well for his size. That’s an amazing outcome at that weight. And you lasted 34 days with severe pre-e?!?! Fighters, both of you 💪💪💪 Amazing that things went better the second time. Apparently the risk of early pre-e happening again is 50/50 so I’m so glad you...

@gemam Really glad your baby did so well and had a relatively short and smooth NICU stay! Good tip about the swelling!

@rawo Thanks for all this detail! Wow you’ve really been through it with feeding in particular.

@memster A long road for you in the hospital! Here’s to hoping NICU life gets smoother and smoother and you can bring him home sooner rather later.

@poppies78 Wow. She moved forward quickly! That’s really great.

@rtaylor07 I hope you’re able to get the support you need, it is out there! The whole thing does sound very traumatic.

@wesmurray Thank you for this offer, it’s very kind. Sounds like your case was very severe. Must’ve been super scary.

@anaruw That’s great; sounds like you’ll be on the road to going home very soon! We are 5 weeks into our journey in the NICU, so far nothing too dramatic which is great.

@reallyconfused0512 Thanks for sharing all this detail. Did they do steroid shots on your initial admission, or wait until things escalated? Your experience with pulmonary edema sounds very frightening, I'm sorry you had to experience that. I appreciate you sharing it though as I didn't...

@anaruw Checking in, how’s your little one?

@jonbradford Wow, a brief but intense hospitalization for you. Thanks for the advice.

@anaruw I look forward to your updates! Do they have any guidelines for how much kangaroo time they want you to do?

@leah71201 Dm if you like!

@jesusrocksjose777 Some advice from my experience, although with a 29 weeker I know it’s very different. be there as often as you can with your other care and work responsibilities. Do as much kangaroo care as you possibly can… Studies show that the more you do, the better your kid’s outcome is...

@ninkies We are living here, BUT we are in a hospital where we have a suite attached to our son’s room. We have no pets or other children and are both off work. The hospital has laundry, kitchen, storage, lounge… it’s very family centred and they do everything they can to support as much...

@this_dot Hoping all is well, checking in. How’s your little one?

@helentina I can’t believe you got turned away so many times. That’s unconscionable. Also three hourlong NSTs? Wow. Where are you located? Such a different approach than my hospital. Did they give you steroids for baby’s lungs on admission or wait? Wow he was small. He is doing okay now?

@this_dot What a horrible experience!

@jesusreigns4ever I haven’t had them yet, we are holding off until I or baby start to tank. It’s nerve wrecking figuring out that timing though

@this_dot I hope the rest of your short is short! That must’ve be so nerve wracking to go into preterm labour the first time at 23 weeks. Wow, you’ve really been through it.
