Preemies

Hi ladies

I hope I dont offend anyone here, I came over from the august mommies, i have a sil in the hospital she is 25wks and having major complications they hope she make it to 29wks. I want to be supportive but family ties make the relationship a little akward. so maybe you can just help me a bit what would have been some nice supportive things you would have liked to hear, and what would you have never wanted to hear.

thank so much ladies.

Re: Hi ladies

  • i would tell her to take it one day at a time and be thankful for every single day.  Each day that her LO keeps cookin' is so important. GL!

  • Just a phone call or email offering your thoughts and prayers is what meant the most to me. If you are able to visit, that is helpful too. Books, magazines, tv series on dvd can all help her pass the time. I was put on hospital bedrest at 24.5 weeks and only made it a week before my LO was born. Even that one week felt like forever when all you can do is lay around. When babies are that little every single day she can stay pregnant makes a huge difference. I will be keeping her in my t&ps!

    This is all great advice!  I had a friend send me the basic things like toothpaste, deororant, fun shampoos and body washes.  Having fun, new stuff made me feel special.  Also those facial wipes really made me feel a bit more human when I received them as a gift.
