@vanerahelson I know this is going to suck but... I turned into 1 of those people. I mean, I do usually wait until people ask, but still... Yes, I woke up to go pee that often too. But I could go to bed at whatever time I chose, sit in the shower or tub to relax before sleeping which made...

@nyvic We were only in NICU for 2 weeks, but I was in hospital from saturday to thursday. My partner worked that first week, since baby and I had all the help we needed from the nurses, and we had visitors every day before dad came to visit to ward of boredome. No one asked why my partner only...

@kimhimmel Went into the ER at 35+3, was admitted and delivered at 35+4 via emergency section. I would have had to deliver earlier but they needed me to get platelets first and those came from a university hospital so they held off. BP went to 190/110 and stayed there. My platelets were...

@mzglass My guy spluttered on every new size the first few times we increased the size. No real choking but definitely a lot of spluttering. Turns out the new amount of milk coming out felt really weird to him at first, and also he would still suck as vigorously as before so he got a whole lot...

@jul1a We moved our preemie at 12 weeks or so. He slept much better, so did we. Also, since he did wake up 2 times at least for food he was never there for longer than 3/4 hours, and we just checked on him before we driften off as well.

@miltonjs My kid sleeps from 7/7.30 to 6am when he is ready to start the day. Unless he is sick or has a dirty diaper, of course. That is my definition of sleeping through the night: neither one of us wakes up until morning. He didn't do that until... 10 month I think.

@cbmiller No, it's not. I had visitors over about 14h after birth via c section, and I was wearing a shirt and adult diaper. Nothing else. I gave no shits because my dad has always been my biggest supporter and my MIL had gone through it before. But if I hadn't trusted them completey, hadn't...

@bacondoughtnuts Not until he was older, he now gets Protectis drops for his gut health every now and again or when his stools gets a little loose.

@cbmiller No, it's not. I had visitors over about 14h after birth via c section, and I was wearing a shirt and adult diaper. Nothing else. I gave no shits because my dad has always been my biggest supporter and my MIL had gone through it before. But if I hadn't trusted them completey, hadn't...

@bacondoughtnuts My son was born 35+4. We had a lot of gas, reflux, very many poops when I still managed to combo feed (breastmilk really did lead to so many poops). I call a full diaper a poop. Another time they just weren't done yet, or had in fact done a wet fart. My bub slept 3h stretches...

@magpie0603 My nurses actuay all did this the first three days I was allowed to breastfeed! They had me get comfy, then instal him comfortably, then they would help shift baby around to a good eating position if necessary, grab my boob and pop it in there. One of the trainee nurses grabbed it...

@erin30ga I still haven't gotten over all of my fears, I don't think I ever truly will. But I've accepted that and just try to be reasonable in controling them.

@erin30ga My son actually had an NG tube for 2 weeks while in NICU. Little bugger decided he was done with it and yanked it out while the nurses were dealing with another little patient. He came home the day after because he ate enough to gain weight. So even if he would need one, it isn't...

@erin30ga Keep up with vaccinations. You can totally do washing hands, and keeping baby away from people you know are sick. Masking when sick is also possible. But mostly: be aware they WILL get sick. I got super unlucky in that respect. Baby and I had to go get him checked out for weight. It...
