The way my husband rationalised it was that our baby’s incubator was his makeshift womb. He’s in the safest place he could possible be outside the womb at this point. You haven’t failed your baby, not at all! You’ll probably find your body forced the birth in order to save your baby. It’s a long road, but stay strong 💙
