@buju This was really thoughtfully written and helpful. Thank you for your experience. It sure sounds like it was quite the difficult ride for you both but I’m so glad to hear everyone is well safely on the other side.

@austinmiles89 Glad his road was relatively straightforward. Must’ve been scary to hear about the brain bleeds but I’m glad they were no issue.

@favourofone Wow thank you for all this. I’m so glad to hear your baby did well and had a relatively smooth time in the NICU. I feel so lucky that my hospital has no activity restrictions… if i feel well, I can wander around as much as I like, go sit in local nearby cafes and parks between...

@kiwiatheist Wonderful! How many days total was her stay? So glad you’re home and that she took to the bottle so fast. And great weight gain! Our little dragon was born at 29+0 and is now 34+2, doing well. On the boring road which is good. Haven’t been able to start oral feeds yet as he has...

@silversun Wow. What an incredible thing your family has been through. Thanks for sharing your story and you are incredibly resilient 💪

@kiwiatheist Just checking in, have you made it home?

@kiwiatheist Five weeks is hospital. Wow, you’ve really been through it. I’m glad her road in NICU has been relatively smooth!

@dpt2014 Wow she was a good size for her gestational age, that must’ve helped. I can’t believe how scary it must’ve been for you though to go through her having a mystery illness.

@blartz Thank you for all this. What a long journey for you, especially since it sounds like you’re very far from home. I really hope a village has risen around you to help

@legrandvn Thank you for sharing your experience in such detail, I appreciate it!

@mutambo What a long stay, that’s one of the longest I’ve ever heard. You’re a trooper!

@blartz Yay!!!! Glad you’re home ❤️

@blartz Just checking in, did you get home? 🤞

I am currently 27w2d, have been hospitalized for a week, and will be here until I deliver. I’ve had a hard time finding other experiences like mine. If you experienced this, I’d love to hear: What week+day were you admitted, what week+day did you deliver, and how many days total was your...

@blartz My goodness what a long journey for you. Our pre-delivery stories sound very similar (except you held out for longer… way to go!!!!)

@ahmed360 WWBS, that’s hilarious 😂😂 Long journey for you but glad it’s on the up and up!

@shonspawnel They definitely don’t do that here! But it’s also a big NICU with 40-60 babies at any one time. They’d be doing it constantly. And I feel like it would be really traumatizing for parents stuck here. I’m quite sure they don’t do it.

@shonspawnel That makes sense about it being hard to watch others go home. I’m grateful that here we have a private room with our baby, so unless I specifically make conversation with other parents in the family lounge, I don’t know anything about the other kiddos.

@itrustgod This post compiles stories of babies born between 28-30 weeks and their trajectories in the NICU. Hopefully it’s helpful for you!

@19rfr57 Sorry to hear about all her challenges with illness. I hope it clears up as she gets older!
