scheduled c section at 32 week and 5 days...... this is heartbreaking... Dr said plan on baby being in NICU and my stay will be 6 days... so ladies.... what do I need in my hospital bag since baby will be in NICU.... the same stuff? or just stuff for me?
@ms.jones, okay perfect! I think I have everything then... well I hope so lol
@mizzrodrigu, complications with my health. they found a tumor in my spine and I've lost sensation in my right foot... they said there is not a likely chance of it coming back and wants to preserve the remaining nerves so I don't go paralyzed
Yeah if baby is gonna be there for a little while it doesn't make sense to bring their stuff. Make sure you pack your toiletries , night gowns or pjs and socks . Whatever you need to be comfortable such as a pillow or what not . Id say bring a book to reading material but usually your mind is so focused on baby you never get a chance to read them any way . @mrsclarke
@desiree, 40 days which for a baby born that early is quick. She was suppose to stay about 70 days but she excelled so quick and was able to come home earlier then expected
@amaperalta03, how long was she in the nicu before she was able to go home?
Mine wasn't planned like yours. So it was very hard to have my baby at 29 weeks. The day I was discharged and she had to stay behind at the hospital was so damn hard. I cried for hours. But thank god the nicu had cameras above the incubator so I can watch her from home which gave me so much relief. And I called like every hour to check on her in the night. I spent every day with her from 9 am to 6 am. Bring some books for your visit and read to the baby. And make sure if you aren't able to Breast feed make sure to pump. Your milk is liquid gold and helps baby grow healthier and quicker. If you have any questions you can always message me
ooh thats crazy..sorry and Goodluck!!
