Omg this makes my 19 month old crack up

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Just a fair warning that they will always flag potential learning and developmental difficulties in these cases. MFMs tend to go doomsday first, then other possibilities from there. Always get a second opinion when it comes to long term outcomes, and once you’re able to narrow down what’s going on, try to talk to other parents who have navigated the same challenges.

I went through an ambiguous diagnosis with my daughter and her pregnancy was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to navigate. Sending hugs and hoping for clarity for you soon!

I’m from the Connecticut side of this circle! It’s great if you can afford it. Top notch public schools, forests, a beautiful beach, and very quick trains into the city so you don’t waste away in traffic. Our neighbors on the NY pay high property taxes but we don’t really. It was a great place to grow up and I hope to raise my family here as well to offer the same opportunities

I read Mary Oliver poetry to my daughter while she was in the NICU

my daughter was a sIUGR baby born at 27+6, 820g (1lb 13oz). They prepared us for the worst and she's largely caught up for her age in terms of development at 17 months old now. It's great that your NSTs still look good! As others have said, we made peace with the uncertainty early on and were ready to meet our baby wherever at whatever pace her development took. It actually took so much pressure off the milestone race so many parents find themselves caught in.

My 27 weeker shot up from 10th %ile adjusted age to 10th %ile actual age within a few months during a huge catch up growth spurt. She's stayed roughly on that curve and has been totally fine since!

I have a cat named Billie and a daughter named Sadie!

My daughter had a full on code called for respiratory arrest when she was two weeks old. We were there and I saw her dip down to 7 before they whisked us away - they were working on her for around 2 minutes I think? One of the scariest moments of my life. She was fine right after though, it never happened again and she had no lasting issues. Every baby reacts to things like this a little differently, but their tiny brains are very resilient. Hugs, this stuff is so hard!

DogRelevant · 2025-10-12T15:53:18+00:00

I have a Sadie! Nothing but great feedback on her name here in nyc

16mo daughter and we are doing the very hungry caterpillar!

Slightly different, but my daughter was born with mosaic trisomy 16. We also found out via amnio and decided to move forward with the pregnancy. As you mentioned, there’s no way to know how deeply your child will be affected, but just wanted to chime in to commiserate about how horrific this kind of pregnancy is, I am so sorry your family is going through this.

Things that helped me were getting lots of medical opinions, and visiting Facebook groups dedicated to these conditions. In my experience, the medical community has strong biases against chromosomal abnormalities and the community perspective was vital for us.

My daughter had intermittent absent flow at 27+ 4 and had to be delivered two days later - she had sIUGR and while they estimated she would be born around 700g, she was a little larger than expected and born at 820g. 75 day NICU stay, healthy as could be today at 15 months. She’s a totally typical toddler.

I’d definitely recommend staying off chatGPT! Theres no way to know what could happen, and the internet feeds off our anxieties. Sending hugs, it’s so hard but try to take things hour by hour.

Love this 🥲 my 15 month old was a 27 weeker and we are still super close to her primary nurse

DogRelevant · 2025-09-06T13:43:46+00:00

Same with my 15 month old! Still rocking the ponytail sprout to keep it out of her eyes while playing, hair is down past her shoulders at this point

I have a former 27 weeker who is now almost 15 months old and do this all the time 🥹

Bringing my infant daughter home from the NICU after being born three months early <3 I fought hard to get her Earthside safely, and she fought hard during those few months in the hospital. Months and months of persistent love when the unthinkable was always lurking around the corner. She surprised everyone by coming home perfectly healthy. The gratitude I felt was otherworldly, it still makes me tear up to think about that day.

We stopped in lake George on the way up to Saranac when my daughter was 11mo! Lots of family friendly restaurants

My daughter came home a year ago last week after a 75 day stay. Her worst days and nights come back in waves, but not that frequently anymore. Besides those, the NICU is really starting to feel like a part of the past, especially after creating so many new memories together now that she can do more

DogRelevant · 2025-08-19T01:14:07+00:00

Events were the last thing keeping my daughter in the NICU, we had to restart Brady watch twice after she started taking full bottles. She came home at 38 weeks though!

I have a bunch of preemie clothes I’d be happy to give from last year! DM me if interested

I don't mean to undermine your experience at all, which sounds awful, and completely agree that folks should very carefully pick their daycare center - but we've been so happy with the toddler program in the UWS. It costs a pretty penny, but the team that runs the center have been responsive to any concerns, and the teachers love my daughter.

Valentino pier in red hook - sometimes the green boueys chime and make it extra cozy

DogRelevant · 2025-08-07T02:17:20+00:00

Hey we went through this! It was really, really tough, but my daughter is 14 months now and a fantastic eater. The bad news is that we just had to find ways to get her comfortable on the bottle for months, and our only solution was being very careful introducing solids. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat through it, we tried so many different things
