Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. My daughter, Mabel, was born on 2/17. She was an emergency c-section at 34 weeks and 5 days as I had started to hemorrhage due to a placenta previa. She is currently in the nicu. In the past week she was taken off her cpap and bilirubin lights and just got moved yesterday to the "grower and feeder" section of the nicu while she learns to feed and maintain her body temp.
It's all really scary and every time I think about her I start to cry because I feel like I let her down by not being able to carry her to term. I'm starting to feel more comfortable in the nicu now, but every time I go, I get really nervous.
They haven't given me any estimates as to how long she will be in. They mention a lot that she seems a little younger (although we know her exact conception date due to ivf).
this looks like a nice, supportive board and I wanted to introduce myself.
