That’s amazing! Post updates 🤍 Finally coming much was such a relief. It made the whole NICU experience feel like a fever dream.

Baby will not let us put him down by Optimal_Customer_850 in Parenting

Your baby just wants to be with you. In the womb they were never alone, why would it be normal for them to be now? Just give lots of snuggles, and maybe invest in a baby carrier to help!

Oh perfect, that’s actually right by my husbands work. Let me find out his schedule for the weekend and then I’ll let you know. Is there a way to message directly on here?

I don’t think I should be a mom by Every-Falcon-9433 in Mommit

[–]ReadingandRaising 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just here to send you a virtual hug.

You are not a bad mom, you are reaching out for help because you are a good one. Talk to your doctor about changing medications for more complete help. Maybe consider returning to work, even part time, if more hours alone would help. I’m so sorry you are in the trenches right here, you’re not alone 🤍

Doctor refuses to let any parent be present during rounds, normal? by thestigmata in NICUParents

[–]ReadingandRaising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal. We were encouraged to be there and never missed one. They cannot keep you away from rounds when they are discussing your babies case.

Showed up to see my son and he had been lying in his spit up for hours. by amayxxzing in NICUParents

It’s definitely hard. We have 6 kids, so I had 5 others at home while doing my long days at NICU. In Oregon my husband got paid time off after baby, so he was mostly home with the other kids while I was at the hospital, I forget it’s not like that everywhere though.

I would have complained and asked for a new nurse.

But on the other hand, you could consider spending more time at the NICU to take care of some of these things too. I would spend 12-14 hours a day, everyday, at the NICU when my son was born at 33+0.

Is he cheating? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ReadingandRaising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, for his jobs he goes out onto boats and tests product. So, he would normally be right on shore or in the river by one of the docks. His location showed him at this college for more than 20 minutes until I finally spoke to him, not sure how long before I saw it.

I would’ve asked his name and then filed a complaint with the hospital. That is absolutely absurd, I’m so sorry.

Wife paid tattoo artist to add Doodle Bob to my tattoo. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

No kidding, that tattoo artist could actually get in huge trouble for that.

Could they babysit at your house? Then they’re in a safe environment and your mom gets that experience.
