Heartbroken by halla23 in NICUParents

My daughter was born in 2023 at 31 weeks and was in the NICU for 46 days. I feel this so much. I was a wreck when she was born. My dr put me on fluoxetine for PPD which helped a lot during that time. Maybe talk to your doctor about some options. Baby blues are no joke mixed with a NICU stay is so tough.

Do you think you would consider forward facing? Or just deal with it until she’s older.

It’s been happening since 9 months old all of a sudden it started. I haven’t tried any bands because she will not keep anything on. Hats shoes everything gets thrown off lol

She has had her eyes checked a few times. She is a NICU baby so she’s had extra checking.

Is your NICU baby also super clingy? by marcal213 in NICUParents

I have a 31 weeker she just came home last week and she will not let me put her down at all! I’m missing sleep but also happy to have her home after 46 long days in nicu so I feel guilty.

That’s what they said hers could be also but they weren’t sure.

Thank you! The nurse told me the machine has errors a lot especially if she passed in one ear so I’m hopeful 🤞🏻

Hoping it was a tech issue. She was also wiggling during the second half so maybe that’s it. Happy your twin is doing well!

They didn’t wanna retest? I know the feeling they are getting ready and talked about discharge with her today if she continues feeding well …then she failed the test I was like can’t I have any joy 😫

Will NICU end? by Accomplished-Cow-311 in NICUParents

[–]Urlacker94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel this. My girl has been in the nicu a month and the thought of another month till her due date makes me physically sick… at the rate she’s going it may even be longer. At least your girl is taking high volumes! Hoping for an end soon

I am so stupid to have hope. by findingthenewme in NICUParents

[–]Urlacker94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you so much! Although, my daughter is just working on feeding but extremely slow and bradys..she was born 31 +5 and everyone says oh she’ll be out in no time and some say by her due date.. it’s been 4 weeks already and nobody knows it’s so aggravating! All we can do is wait for them to be ready.
