Until you personally have a baby in the nicu you will have no clue what it's like..I am exhausted,…

I had twins one came home and the other stayed in NICU for a month. it sucks.

@jomommaclark, I can't imagine that, I'm already two places at once and I don't have another baby at home

it was hard but you know what as a mother you just do it. keep up the good work momma don't leery people drag you down. do your best that's all you can do.

my daughter just came home on wed. .. i cant tell you how many times i burst into tears when the nurse told me i had to tpuch her through the glass.... esp when there were days when i really needed to hold her....

@gracelynsmomma, me too..or when you get a rude nurse who will just stand there and stare you down the entire time you're there and watch your every move., I understand you're taking care of her but she is still MY little girl

oh my god yes that is the worst... ir the ones that tell you, you cant hold them unless they are there supervising you... talking your fucking ear off... and you are just like

i came here to stare at my little girl in peace...

@gracelynsmomma, I didn't get to see her for the first time until she was 6 days old..so of course the first day I did get to see her I just wanted to sit there and stare at her,just be close to her.. her daddy and I were sitting beside her bed when she starts crying so I reach out and put one hand around her feet and legs and the other hand on top of her head (like they told me to to calm her down)..the nurse notices me touching her and gets this awful look on her face and asks in this pissy little voice "are you guys about ready to let her rest?" .. like no bitch this is the first time I've seen her since she was born all I want is for you to go the hell on somewhere

lord.... i understand ..

smh... but since shes been home im so used to the monitors telling me exactly whats going on with her so... i always get nervous... i even take her with me to go to the bathroom....

@gracelynsmomma, I understand completely, I'll probably be the same way when she gets to come home, waking up all through the night just to check on her..she was born at 31 weeks, 2 lbs 8 oz

she was 33 +4

i had gestational diabetes so

she was 6lbs 1oz...

ive never been so huge in my life....

with high blood pressure and an iron problem... plus a mild case of anemia .....

truthfully... she sleeps on my chest.. so i know for sure she's okay

I can imagine, I'm sorry dear :(

I developed severe preeclampsia & HELLP syndrome, I think the highest my blood pressure got was 180/130.. my liver and kidneys were failing and my body started killing my red blood cells,then magnesium poisoning (my doctors fault >< )on top of all of that.. I went through two blood transfusions before they let me go.. I'm getting better now tho,just waiting on the day I can take my little love home
