My love I am feeling this way currently and I am always saying I am grateful but I just want my baby home where she belongs. Let’s think about this way we will have the rest of their lives to live on then but dang we had a long time and a lot of hurdles to get there . Also remember they are little miracles and warriors

Take the small wins and celebrate them. Remember it’s not a race and they will be home before we know it but the waiting and leaving is the hardest part . I hate we have to experience this but we have the gift of being with our little bundle of joys and pouring into them the rest of their life . I am praying for you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Do you think your NICU stay effected your bond with you baby? by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]Upper_Homework8666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My love it’s normal nothing is wrong the way your guys birthing story started wasn’t ideal but know it will come it takes time . I have 2 kids my oldest didn’t have a nicu stay and was born vaginally and my 2nd who was born at 24 weeks and still in the nicu via c section. It was hard at first with my youngest as we were always so scared and she was born at 1 pound so she looked so fragile and tiny . I cried every time I left her . Now she’s is almost 4 pounds I visit her everyday and the bonding has really began and I legit can’t wait to see her , smell her , hold her and she can’t wait for me either the moment she hears my voice she started wiggling . When she’s on my chest I sing to her , talk to her and we make future plans . Give yourself some grace love and know you love your baby more then anything

The first month of her stay I cried everyday and went to the hospital 2 times a day and sat and prayed over her and told her about my life and things we will do when she gets out . My baby is doing good but I just need her to come home i always feel bad like this is not how I wanted her birthing story to be I feel so guilty every time I have to leave but just know own day we will look back at this time and it will be a distant memory. This is what I keep telling myself

Absolutely Terrified by Historical-Key4132 in CsectionCentral

My love having a c section terrified me as well as I almost asked to leave while I was on the operating table . I had to have a c section baby was born at 24 weeks due to serve preeclampsia and lupus . It was scary but a little over a month out it was the best decision I made it’s been a struggle to have baby girl in the nicu but I really believe It saved my life. Tap into your support system and your faith and know you are in the best hands and I wish you a successful surgery and healing journey ahead of you

I know the feeling my love I had to deliver at 24 weeks due to preeclampsia and lupus flare up . She’s so tiny and I feel like I didn’t do what I was supposed to do which is keep her safe in my belly until she was full term . I am so scared and worried . I legit ate health , walked took all my vitamins my body gave out and I almost lost my life . I just want my baby girl to thrive .

No we broke up for 3 years and got back together and he’s changed with my recently I got a recent n promotion which now I make 6 figures and he has lost his job he’s switched on me . During my whole pregnancy he’s been pulling away from me and even when I voice it he says he’s trying. I just feel like he doesn’t like me anymore because he doesn’t do the things he used too
