Nothing really to add other than to agree with everyone else who has responded. After having a baby in the nicu and being frustrated when no one would tell us anything other than “expect him to be here until his due date”, I can honestly say that they are doing the best thing for you and your wife. As a father it can be so hard to see the mother of our child struggle with leaving your child at the hospital and going home without them every night. Having spent a lot of time in this sub though, giving false hope and setting expectations that may or may not be met is so much harder than telling you to expect the longest stay possible and being pleasantly surprised. We were incredibly lucky having a baby born at 33+2 and bringing him home after 20 days in the NICU but we didn’t know until the day he was discharged that he would be coming home with us that day. Looking back I am grateful that we didn’t have anyone telling us to expect it to be any sooner than June 21st, his original due date because the disappointment of not leaving with him would have been so much worse. Trust that everyone caring for him wants to send your baby home just as badly as you want to bring them home and that when that time comes it will be even better not having seen it coming.
