Pre term

I ended up having my baby girl early 🥺 she was due sept 11 , I had her July 31st she’s a 6 pound preemie , currently in the nicu recovering from a very rare stomach defect, she hasn’t passed stool , but it’s been day 5 since surgery, and she slowing making big recovery steps , as a first time mom it’s so heartbreaking to know and see my baby wasn’t coming home with me but I make it my business to be here with her almost every day. My girl is a fighter and i know she’ll be out of here in no time . Is there any other nicu moms currently, I’m new to this staying strong for my mama 🥺

Hi had my first at 34 +2, spent a week in the nicu and came home at 4lb 3oz. Had my second at 35+4 we spent 2 days boarding the nicu after about a week being at home he was re-admitted into the nicu , being a nicu mom is harddddd but those babies are tough and it crushed me having to leave my baby while I went home, I hope your little one gets to go home soon, good luck

poor little lady. i made a group just for mom's of babies with medical issues, it's all inclusive. my son had two surgeries at 7 weeks old. feel free to join the group and message me any time🥰 i hope the NICU is treating you two well🥺🥺

She was well worth the wait 😘🩷

Had baby girl on 8/3 at 40+1! She kept us on our toes the whole week prior with not one but two false labors! They offered to induce me since I was already there and I decided to decline and just see when she’d make her debut. 😉 Well worth the few extra days!

We got to come home after 24 hours, and it’s just been amazing. If you’re debating on going for a 3rd baby, 10/10 recommend. 😌
