I was away from my 4 year old for so long, it sucked so bad! I feel your sadness because I was there September through the beginning of November. I had one week in the hospital while I was pregnant, then I had to have a c section at 29 weeks, then I spent basically the duration of my son's nicu stay with him. Out of the 57 days that my son &/or I were in the hospital I only went home (2 hours away) to see my 4 year old 4-5 times. He came to visit me 3-4 times I think. It was really rough. But anyway, I hope everything works out for you! (& you get some boob relief!). Good luck momma!

i hope you get better i know being sick while pregnant is awful especially being away from the little ones you already have

@queeneden, thank yu. this is day 4 here away from my kids and it's not easy. im def going to ask nurse about that. its so painful

I'm sorry you're going through that. I just got out of the hospital last week after 11 days. You can and should at least hand express what you can so you don't end up with an infection. Warm compresses will help. Your nurses will help too if you tell them. I hope you're feeling better soon.
