friend with baby born at 26 weeks
hey ladies my friend had her baby at 26 weeks due to bad preeclampsia just this last friday. I was wondering if you could help me out. What were some things that helped you get thru your hard time of your baby being in the nicu? I want to be there for her the best I can.
thanks ladies.

Re: friend with baby born at 26 weeks
My girlfriend sometimes came to have lunch with me between my babies' feedings and that really helped me still feel like part of the "normal" world. Another friend sent cute blankets for the boys' isolettes. If you can't be there to tke her to lunch or if you feel like she wants privacy, you could get gift cards to restsurants near the hospital.
Here's a whole blog post that's been compiled from preemie moms on this board:

Bring her lunch to the hospital, help her with home stuff, be supportive.
My best friend hired a cleaning service to clean my house after DD was born and I was in the NICU with her. It was such an awesome thing because I was on bedrest prior and had an eergency c-section so my house was gross. It was just one less theing to think about while I was at the hospital everyday.
