Anyone else?

I had a premature baby in January of this year, he was extremely ill, like many of you we lived through one day at a time but now 9 months later we’re off of oxygen and have been discharged form most teams, life seems to be getting better but I can’t help but think how much preeclampsia and having a baby in the NICU for 12 took away from us. I see all the pregnancy videos and the cute moments and I just get so angry and upset that was taking taken from us! That we never got to have them cute moments! Does it bother anyone else?

I had my son at 32 weeks and we did have a relatively smooth journey(thankfully) with 17 days in NICU but I have already had 3 premature losses and can’t have any more children now so it’s hard knowing I’ll never have the full term experience, I spent most of the pregnancy in and out of hospital so never had a baby shower and did a lot of it alone due to Covid, I miss what could have been but do appreciate how lucky I am and how things could have been a lot different

@Maria I get that! I’m sorry for your loss, my son was born at 28 weeks at 1lb 7oz, we didn’t have a smooth journey, full of surgery’s, ventilators, breathing problems, blood transfusions, the list goes on I’m so grateful we made it home not everyone is so lucky, I just morn what could have been, would I should have had! Idk if I’m being ungrateful

My little one was born at 26+2 preeclampsia and hellp syndrome caused early delivery.. he was in nicu for 5 months. It was tough !! We are 2 but still on nighttime oxygen xx
