    New NICU Father. All help and advice please

    @bennycross315 Oh buddy, my heart goes out to you. I'm in just about your same shoes, just a couple days ahead of you. Little girl, 25+6, born on the 11th. I don't have much advice for you that hasn't been said already. I will say, I have gone for some late night walks when my wife is asleep and...

    @awan717 I'm glad that I'm looking at a massive medical bill instead of two caskets today. It's no joke

    Life at a standstill

    @knd92 Thank you. A counselor stopped by earlier today to see how we were doing. The doctors and nurses have been continually checking on us. Even the NICU doctor stopped by to check on us.

    Life at a standstill

    @katrina2017 It's terrifying. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Your comment though has had me pushing everything aside to focus on her. I know the bill will come due eventually, but she's more important than that

    @giannis I can't help but think in my parents day, I'd be looking for a couple of caskets today. Momma and baby are doing very well

    Life at a standstill

    @phphavok This was beyond all our birth plans. We thought worst case scenario, we transfer from birth center to hospital 3 minutes away, she gives birth the natural way with some medications and good surgeons. I never had considered a C-section would be in the picture

    Life at a standstill

    Tl;Dr: my wife's pregnancy went from 0-100 in a short time span, but both momma and baby are safe and well. Sunday night: my wife complained of nausea and abdominal pain. We thought it was a stomach bug, it'll get better. Tuesday night: the pain has only increased, about to a 5/10. Midwives...
