Hey Ladies ,

Yes me!

I was not admitted in hospital though i had to see them outpatient 3 times a week

I just went through this. I was supposed to be there for 2 weeks. I didn’t make it and had our daughter 5 days into my stay. What i will say while i was there before and after i had her is have things from home to make it a little less like a hospital room. My husband brought my laptop, Apple TV because we were able to hook it up in the hospital and clothes, pillows from home.

Omg me too @Mel I’ve been admitted since Thursday to Friday then left and came back Saturday and I’m Still here. Will have delivery early hoping for 34 weeks I’m 30 weeks 3 days today. Will be having a C section as well. You’re not alone!!

@Manny thanks for responding , I can’t believe I’ve already been here for 11 days , I’ve still got 3 weeks to go . I’m so worried about her being in the NICU and not doing skin to skin right after the C section . Do you feel the same ?

@Riss Hey Ross , did you have to have your baby in the NICU ?

@Mel yeah she’s currently still in the NICU, she’s doing really well fortunately for being born at 32 weeks. I will definitely say it is very hard her being there and us being home now. I wasn’t prepared for the emotions of her being in the NICU. There are good days and not so good days but talking about it is better then holding it in.

She will be fine I’m a NICU mom of a 26 weeker…it was a rough experience for me. But u will def get tru it. You will be soooo surprised to see how quickly she grows. Every mom wish they could give birth n jus hold unto their babies but some of us have it different. NICU babies are very strong.

@Mel u can def do skin to skin when u visit the NICU….actually they encourage that more than anything else. It can be a little challenging with all the cords n especially if baby is on the cpap but they will def help u maneuver over all of that so u could feel comfortable. One thing I can say, if that’s the situation ur baby ends up in the NICU alwyz have a positive energy n thinking cuz babies really do sense our energy. I remember I went there while my son was there, n I jus became overwhelmed n started crying..the nurse who was caring for my son saw me n she realized I was not ok n she would not let me hold the baby under that condition. Instead we talked a little, n she literally jus supporting me in that moment until I gather myself. N I really appreciated it. So I say this to say jus try to be positive if u end up in a NICU situation. It’s not easy but nothing last forever.

yess! i was 32 weeks pregnant & ended up getting preeclampsia. they wanted to keep me pregnant for another 2 weeks & stay in the hospital til then. i sat in the hospital 4 days & ended up needing a c-section because them waiting the 2 weeks was very risky for both me & the baby! he came & now is in the NICU for the next couple weeks. its been hard, but everyday is a better day! 🥺🥰
