I'm so overwhelmed. My son is in NICU because he was 6 weeks early and don't get me wrong I'm so grateful he is okay but this shit is so hard. I'm the only one who can stay in the hospital with him because his father had to go back to work. All my emotions are everywhere because I just want my baby to get better so he can come home.
feeding him stresses me out because I want him to eat completely from a bottle and he's just not there yet. he's thrown up 3 times today, not large amounts but it scares me. I know it's going to take time but it breaks my heart to see him with a feeding tube and to see him in the warming box.
when he gets fussy I feel helpless because I don't know why. I'm just emotionally drained.
I feel like I'm a horrible mother and he's only 5 days old.
being a mother to a premie in NICU is just so hard. 😥

You are a good mama doing all the things right for your baby. When my little brother was in the NICU there were so many babies that didn't have the kind of attention and love you are showing to your little. Hang in there mama, it'll get easier in time but it's okay that it sucks right now. I'll be thinking of you!

Don't stress yourself out too much. I was a nicu mom my daughter was born 11 weeks early. Although it's not easy to go through it something id never change for anything in the world. You have nurses who can always help. I myself also was the only one who could stay with my baby at the hospital cause my boyfriend had to work. I always felt alone but I started making friend with other nicu moms and it was great. Feel free to message me if you ever need to talk cause I completely understand what your going thru. And give your baby time he will do things when he's ready.
