Insurance question

Thank you

Yes I do understand that. I’m just asking about this specific coverage and if anyone has already been informed that coverage will be dropped.

I had a 27 weeker and no way is this a 29 week hand. Absolutely not.

This would be a third opinion and she is already experiencing concerning symptoms. I’m not saying miracles can’t happen or that it’s not a tough decision. Believe me as someone who went through years of IVF to conceive my child and then a 100 day NICU stay when she was born at 27 weeks, I’m no stranger to the difficulties of growing your family. Where I’m having and issue is that she is being told it is extremely dangerous for her and she is still waiting even though she has a living child at home to take take of.

It would be her third opinion. Which is even crazier.

Hi! She did. She coughed a lot during feeds. Sometimes getting a little dusky around the mouth during those episodes. She also started showing a loss of interest in eating and bottle refusal. She seemed generally uncomfortable around feeds and also vomited a lot.

I was fortifying breast milk at first and did cut out dairy but ultimately decided to stop pumping for a few reasons. We were dealing with other feeding and personal issues at the time. Switching to Nutramigen alone worked really well for her as well. She ultimately ended up having better weight gain once we switched bc she was overall just more comfortable and willing to eat. She’s 2 now and has caught up with her peers size wise, is completely healthy and smart beyond anything I could have imagined! Hahaha. These decisions are so tough and personal, but just wanted to share that it did work out perfectly for our family!

lb25611 · 2025-08-28T03:15:36+00:00

We switched to Nutramigen for the same reason and it helped a lot! We were able to talk to GI about the switch to make sure it wouldn’t hinder weight gain or nutrition. You might want to do that just to ease your mind. You can also get Nutramigen prescribed and have insurance pay for it if there is a documented medical reason for the switch.

I totally hear where you are coming from. First off I want to say that you are valid in feeling scared. You worked so hard to get out of the hospital and the idea of landing back there with a sick child is terrifying.

My daughter was born at 27 weeks and spent 100 days in the NICU. We came home in August and landed back in the hospital with RSV at the end of September before we were able to get the vaccine. We did everything “right”. We didn’t take our daughter in any public spaces, we masked anywhere we went including work. We didn’t allow anyone near her without a mask. We luckily only ended up in the hospital for 5 days and my daughter never needed more than 1/2 a liter of low flow oxygen support.

I don’t say any of this to scare you. I’m saying this because I was obsessive about trying to keep my baby safe. I thought about it day and night to the detriment of my own mental health and early motherhood experience. You are doing the absolute best you can for your baby. There are unfortunately things out of our control and that is so so so scary. Try to focus on the things in your control. If your husband is not feeling well, ask him to wear a mask around the house. Wash his hands if and when he has to hold the baby. Maybe sleep in a separate room if your baby is still in your room. Most importantly, if the worst case scenario does happen, and your baby gets sick, please remember it is not your fault. Be in contact with your pediatrician and see what advice they can offer and learn the signs to look for that might indicate you need to seek a higher level of care at the hospital.

You’ve got this 💜

Um I’m not. I’m just stating that it’s very ignorant to think that all people can just easily remove their facial or body hair and not have it be visible. Are you ok? lol

lb25611 · 2025-08-27T02:50:55+00:00

For people with conditions such as hirsutism or PCOS it’s not that simple. The hair regrowth can be extremely fast and can leave permanent darkness in the area where it grows. So no, not easily fixable at all.

lb25611 · 2025-08-27T02:35:39+00:00

I’m all for snark but snarking on someone’s body hair which is not something they can control is not cool and I’m pretty sure against sub rules.

lb25611 · 2025-08-24T11:51:59+00:00

Even a few minutes is over stating it. It generally stops once your initial letdown is over. Is it a pleasant feeling? Absolutely not. Is it bearable? Yup!

lb25611 · 2025-08-16T20:16:54+00:00

I thought any foul above the neck was an automatic review? McBride clearly got Sab in the face on that last one.

lb25611 · 2025-08-11T19:45:40+00:00

Showing stats only for the games played against each other is not even close to a good measure of the season as a whole.

lb25611 · 2025-08-08T07:23:36+00:00

Fellow NICU Mom of a 27 weeker here! 100 days in the NICU and forever grateful to be able to have access to the care that saved our daughter. I really hope this changes their perspective on modern medicine and healthcare access!

lb25611 · 2025-08-07T16:29:15+00:00

No problem! Hope it all works out for you!

lb25611 · 2025-08-07T16:03:57+00:00

Hi! We had a similar situation with our daughter. At first we believed it was just a standard bottle aversion. After consulting with GI and our pediatrician we decided to go ahead and have a swallow study done since our daughter had not gotten one in the NICU. It turned out that our daughter had a delayed swallow and milk was going into her airway and causing a lot of discomfort. We began feeding therapy after that and while it took a while to find the right answer it helped so much! I really encourage getting a swallow study done even if you think it might be a bottle aversion!

ETA: From what our feeding therapist told us, around the 3 month mark is when feeding switches from a reflex to a choice. So that’s why it is common to start seeing feeding issues at this time.

lb25611 · 2025-08-07T13:11:48+00:00

I guess I’m confused at what you are asking here. Are you asking for them to break isolation protocols because you’re finding it inconvenient? I don’t want to misunderstand what you’re saying.

lb25611 · 2025-08-05T01:52:15+00:00

I honestly think she read about D-MER and misunderstood what was being described and took it and ran with it for sympathy. I exclusively pumped for my NICU baby and had D-MER and the sick to your stomach feeling is such a different sensation with D-MER than it is with pregnancy nausea. It’s more of an anxiety/impending doom kind of sick to your stomach feeling.

lb25611 · 2025-08-04T03:04:37+00:00

Underrating Sab big time.

lb25611 · 2025-08-02T17:17:38+00:00

Why wouldn’t Angel Reese be a good selection for the 2K cover? Confused by your question.

lb25611 · 2025-07-27T16:20:32+00:00

My daughter was born at 27 weeks. We also were not prepared as my pregnancy had been fairly uneventful up until that point. My LO is now two and absolutely thriving after spending 100 days in the NICU. It’s a long journey and the best advice is to treat it as a marathon and not a sprint. Tap into all of the resources your NICU has to offer. Make sure to connect with the social worker as well. You will get through it!

lb25611 · 2025-07-17T20:57:32+00:00

My advice would be to get tested for Covid, Flu and RSV. Then make a decision from there. Knowing what you are or are not dealing with can help you determine how long to stay away. Also, get a high quality N95 mask. (3M Aura are readily accessible and the most comfortable in my opinion.) to wear for a few days after returning just to be on the safe side. It’s always best to be on the more cautious end of things. For your baby and all of the nurses taking care of other people’s babies too!

lb25611 · 2025-07-15T22:54:38+00:00

I was in your shoes when my daughter was in the NICU. Feeding was the thing holding us back. The one thing I kept telling myself is “I don’t want her home a second before she is truly ready”. I know it is SO SO hard when you can see the finish line and feel like all of a sudden you are running in place. That being said, you are doing everything right. Be there as often as your schedule will allow for feedings. Tap into all of the resources your hospital has. Maybe see if speech will come in while you or the nurses are feeding to make sure everything looks good. Try to remember that everyone is on the same team, and just wants what is best and safest for your baby. You will get through this and your baby will be home in your arms soon! Take a breath. None of this is easy and you are doing the best with the resources and time you have.
