i need some encouragement

posted 29th Nov
hello everyone 1st of all i want to appologize for my bad english and spelling.2nd i will tell you my story . i gave birth to a beautiful little girl 10 days ago.she was born with 29 weeks . she didnt needed oxigen or anything just some antibotics cause of a past infection of mine.she is been moved yesterday from Intensive Care to High Dependency Care.She is active , tolerating her milk 15mL every 2h .Tomorrow they will incrase her milk a bit more because her weight is a bit static ,i wonder if my milk is no good .I stress a lot , we didnt expect this , at home we are still decorating , money is low and im on my feets all day .I dont have time not even to breath.Always at the hospital ,and home sorting my partner out.He is doing nights shifts.I am worried about what i red about preemies .that they dont develop like a full term baby and they might have problems in the future .i dont know what to do in order to help her .i spend time with her at the hospital.her dad reads her stories after he finishes his night shift every day . the nurses and doctors tell me she is doing really well for a 29 weeker but i still worry sick ...if anyone that has been through the same would tell me how to cope with it nd what to do to make it easier ...i would really appreciate it.thank you if you took your time to read this.
good luck in everything u want to achieve.

They grow fine ..ya in some cases they can get more sick then full term babies but she will be just fine..my son is now going to be two and he is so smart and big u would have never thought he was born early ..he does get sick alot but u just have to be on top of it..the thing that helped me was making friends wit the other moms in there..I got close wit a few women n there babies. Its a ruff road wen my son was there I never left only to eat and shower so I know how u feel and ur worries just keep doing wat ur doing ..and pray for the strength for u and ur baby..
