Gracie&Noah's Mommy - Jul 27, 2012 9:39 pm (#156 Total: 253)  

 

Hello my name is Bianca Scott, i am the mother of a 11month old Gracie and i just gave birth to my son Noah July 24 2012, he was premature, delivered at 33weeks. He weighed 3pd 12oz and was 16 in long. It's been a rocky road here and having to deal with that because i had a perfect labor and delivery with my daughter and she wasnt premature or never had any problems and now i'm having to deal with this. Its been very emotional and tough for me to deal with also; mentally and physically.
My son for the first two days they had him on a respirator to help him breathe and just today, July 27th 2012 they took him off of it and are letting him breathe on his own which has turned out really good.
He does have a problem with the left side of his lung, so they are trying to lay him more up on that side to were it is expanding more and opening.
He is doing really good so far.

My name is katie, my husband and I lost our twins less then a week ago. While I was only 12 weeks along, I am completley devastated, I had begun to imagine their lives with us and plan and get excited. I had no signs/symptoms of any problems. I went in for a routine ultrasound and the babies had no hearbeats, the doc said they died within a couple days of each other, and he was able to tell us they were identical twins. I went in for a D&C 2 days later and I feel empty, angry, guilty, sad...I am hoping with time and support I will feel like myself again and one day be ready to try again.

    Hi Katie and welcome
    I am so sorry to hear about your twins. We lost our little boy Mason at 23 weeks just last week. Yes you are going to be on a roller coaster of grief but you need to know it is not your fault. I know we are going to get through this, and I know you are going to get through as well simply because we made it thus far. There is always hope. Also always remember you are not alone.

    Hi and Thank you so much, and let me say how sorry I am to hear about Mason. That is heartbreaking. Just being on this site, and sharing with others going through the same feelings and emotions, and reading their stories has already given me a sense of peace. Hope it is giving you the same.

    Hey everyone. My name is Amanda I am only 22 yrs old. My daughter Gianna was born on April 22nd at only 27weeks. Her birth weight was 1lb 11oz she's my tiny miracle. We were in the NICU for 90 days, long but worth it experience. We brought her home 2 days after her due date which was July 17th. She's now 4 months with an adjusted age of 1 month. But she's thriving already rolling over and trying to hold that head up. Proud mommy!

    Gavincolesmommy07 - Aug 31, 2012 6:49 am (#177 Total: 253)  

     

    Hello everyone! My name is Mindy and I'm a mommy of three. Gavin my oldest was a NICU baby. His due date was July 2, 2007. On April 22 I started having horrible pains in my sides and kept going back and forth to the doctor the whole week after. Then the weekend came and I turned yellow, so I was transferred to St. Mary's in Evansville IN. My doctor there ran tests and confirmed that I had Hellp Syndrome (Acute fatty liver). On April 30, 2007 my little man came into this world via emergency c section. He was 2lbs, 12.4oz and 15 1/4inches long, then his weight dropped to 2lbs 8oz. Gavin was in the NICU for almost two months. It was the hardest part of my life I'd say. After being released from the hospital I didn't get to see him until the weekends:( I lived 1 1/2 hrs away from the hospital. But now five years later Gavin is a tall and healthy little boy who just started kindergarden and is playing football:)

    Mama of Coral and Max  

    Hi,
    I'm Jessi, Mama of Coral and Max who were born at 26 weeks in march of 2012. I was on bed rest for 17 days prior, but we now know that the toxoplasmosis wasn't gonna let us continue. Coral came home just before her July 1 due date, but Max got hit much harder by the bugs and is still in the NICU with a trach and on a vent. I'm looking forward to connecting with other NICU mamas and papas - especially anyone else who has one at home and one still not.

    Hello to all, I would like to introduce myself as the Father of Savanna Louise. My wife and I are currently in St. Mary's NICU. Her water broke at 22 weeks and 4 days . We r now 22 weeks and 6 days. Things are tuff and she is in a lot of pain ... Due contractions. She is currently on Magnesium and Indocin ( sorry for misspellings ). Contractions didn't start until this morning about 3:30 and it they have went from every 3 minutes to now they are at about 15 minutes apart. Oddly her cervix completely closed. Doctors said her body confused with no sac it things labor should follow, but glad that she (Savahna) sn't ready yet. Holding on tight to every hour, every day and then every week we stay pregnant.
