Baby girl was born 8lb 6oz :) she was born with liquid in her lungs, I guess it happens when they are via csection. She was breathing rapidly so they admitted her to NICU last night I’m hoping she can get better and I can have her in the room with us. I’ve only had her for 5 mini. I am afraid for my milk supply I’ve been pumping every 3 hours for 15 min but I’m not getting much collustrum only the first time I pumped. Any advice or works of encouragement, I’m feeling very defeated right now.
@jadego, I pray you get her back today hun 🙏🏻 it must be so tough to have ur baby and not have her next to you.. I remember they would come poke my son for sugar test every few hours I hated it 😔
@jacobsmommy2018 oh wow that must have been so stressful you are so strong we are very fortunate that she shouldn’t be much longer just taking it one day at a time
@artsmommy, thank you so much we are just waiting to find out if she passes her sugar test with no IV and if she does I get her back tonight 😊 for now I’m gonna need to supplement and I’m gonna try and do a lot of skin contact once she gets here and then hopefully my milk comes in 🙏🏼
Congrats she’s so beautiful.. I’m so sorry your going through this.. I pray she will be able to come out of there ASAP 🙏🏻🙏🏻 and pumping you should just keep trying even if you only get few drops it’s still something... my milk in general didn’t come in until about 3 days after birth.. so at the hospital I had to give formula then I started breastfeeding.
Congratulations! I hope your little one gets well soon. As for pumping, just keep it up. They will probably give her formula mixed in with the breast milk- but ITS OKAY it can take awhile for your milk to come in.
