Show your support
Aww... adorbsss Please take care yourself first.. I have been in this situation so I know how it feels when you miss any day to not visit the little one..but trust me your health is more important and your baby is in good hands so try to relax ... Huggs
I only got to visit him once but we stayed in this hospital room they transferred for parents with nicu babies and we stayed the weekend but that’s the only time I saw my son during his whole stay he stayed a whole month and I didn’t get to meet my son until 2 weeks after my c section I wasn’t ok it was rough but you have to care for yourself first
Omg he’s so cute!! There are teddy bears you can get that your able to put your son’s heart beat in the bear. So on days where you can’t visit- have the bear. Prayers for you and your beautiful family.
He's so cute!! I had leftover placenta and had to be rehospitalised and then also got covid from other parents at the hospital and had to isolate away from baby for over a week. Both times were very rough on us, especially on me and I would find myself crying non stop. What did help was that I requested if the hospital could video call me when they're doing her feeds so I got to see her. You could ask if they can do that for you while you recover?
It’s rough. I couldn’t see mine for 24 hours because they put me on magnesium after I had her and they wouldn’t let me up. Then they did it again a few days after that. The only thing that might help is if you can send family to visit and maybe video call you while they’re there but I assume your a husband would have to accompany them. Next best thing is just call the hospital for updates.
I know it’s hard I had a cold and couldn’t visit nicu for a month Call in every day and ask their nurse for daily updates x
Congratulations! He’s so cute! I know how you feel, my baby was born at 28 weeks and since we lived a little over an hour away we could only see him twice a week, didn’t always have a babysitter etc. Our NICU had live stream of our baby so I could watch him 24/7 Do you know if your NICU has the same option? It helped me when I couldn’t be with my baby. I know it’s tough. Your baby wants you to heal and knows you’re doing the best you can for him. Hang in there, I’m here if you ever need to talk.
That’s depressing
It's hard and I can relate. My little one was in the NICU and I lived over an hour away. We would visit all day..and everyday when we left I cried the whole way home wondering why I left....its been a year now and looking back I try and think of it as being a little lucky. I got sleep I ate, and got to heal from the c section and was good and healed when he got to come home. He also got all the love from the nurse, got on a great sleeping and feeding schedule with them. I knows it's hard but don't be to hard on yourself.
Awww I know it's easier said than done but try not to feel too guilty about not visiting today as he will have all of the nurses caring for him round the clock. I would spend 15 hours a day in NICU with my little girl and I ended up making myself ill from exhaustion. In order to look after Harrison you also need to look after you! 💙
