I'm having a panic attack.... they are putting baby back on I.v. and feeding tube apparently something isn't right with her tonight. broke down in the NICU. I'm back in my room I can't take benadryl bc I'm breastfeeding and I'm scared. I don't wanna lose her....she was born at 34w5d..... please someone reassure me that she has a high risk of surviving..... what can I take for a panic attack I gotta wait til morning to call and get refills on my buspar
She'll be fine momma. Just breathe!!
I can't lose her... I can't have any more kids because of my messed up uterus
prayers for your little one. I was born 2/23/91 @ 26.5 weeks with my twin sister. both our first babies were born at 35 weeks with some jaundice and breathing issues but otherwise fine. keep you in my thoughts tonight
Being a NICU mom is very stressful, and scary both! My little boy was born in January at 32 weeks! Sometimes they do good and sometimes they get tired and give us setbacks. Just try not to worry too much
my baby was born at 33 weeks now 5 months, premmie baby girls tend to be stronger and get well faster, these type of things tend to happen to alot of premmies and overcome what ever is in the way of them getting better. she will be fine and next thing you know she'll be home... ❤👣🎀
I was born at 33 weeks Hun I'm now 23 this was in 1992!!! They didn't have the meds they do now then yes I was on a feeding tube for like 2 weeks but I'm fine and healthy as a horse. @saracook
breathe momma. She will do fine. my daughter was born at 35+4
4 pounds 6 ounces she had a feeding tube and iv. when they are preemie they're tired so they can fall sleep during eatings. the feeding tube makes sure there getting enough.
I know its hard seeing them like this but it will be ok. Preemies are strong. my friend had a baby at 34 weeks he stayed due to needing to eat more and he's now a healthy 2 year old.
Her chances of survival are well over 95% at that point. She may need the feeding tube so she can gain weight. Some full term babies even need one for a little bit if they're under weight or the lose a lot at first. Have faith in your NICU team, they know what they're doing and will always do what's best for your child.
don't worry she has a high success rate sweetie @saracook
try not to worry too much momma she's gonna be fine. these are setbacks that happen. they're honestly not that big of a setback either it's just a little assistance so baby can gain weight. I'm a nicu mom so I'm familiar with all these. she's gonna be okay. if you can do skin to skin as much as possible that'll help her so much
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Rant!
My sitter used cottonelle wet wipes on my baby! Now she has huge rash!!! I totally get that my SO forgot to put the wipes in her diaper bag. But she could have told one of us and we could have brought her some or she could have went to the store and I could pay her back. I don't get it. She buys her clothes and toys, takes her places while I'm at work. The store is literally a 5 minute walk from her house. But she decided cottonelle wipes are ok? Ugh. Rant over.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page

Thanks for all the ❤️ guys! I think I'm in shock! Labor story in a bit I'm being attacked with visitors lol
@korahleah_11, I'm really trying. thanks guys
