Re: Hospital/NICU tour - preg mention

[Guest guest]

Mikell,

When I went into ptl and had my placental abruption at 28 weeks, my ob had me

visit the NICU in our hospital. I was so glad that I went - they made me feel

at ease that if my baby came early they would be doing their best to help my

little one along. I learned so much from that tour.

I am glad that your little girl is doing well. I know bedrest was tough for me.

I am a go type person but I followed the ob's and peri's orders and Noah made it

much longer than they thought. I am saying prayers for you. Hard to believe

that this time last year - I started bedrest - hard to believe that my little

peanut is now 9 months old. Time is sure flying.

Hospital/NICU tour - preg mention

Dear ladies,

I went today for a tour of our local hospital's L&D plus the NICU (by

wheelchair I must add). I've been to the L&D too many times already to visit

other people having babies, so I was more interested in the NICU since I suspect

we will have to go there. For any of you pregnant ladies who think you might

deliver early, I would strongly recommend visiting your local NICU.

I have to tell you that it was immensely reassuring to me. The nurse was so

helpful and informative. She showed us the different areas where the babies are

and one that is the same gestation as mine. I couldn't believe how big he was!

I didn't realize that this little girl inside of me is growing so fast!

The most reassuring thing was to see these little babies born at 24+ weeks

that are just thriving! I always worry about what if she comes early. Now I

know that she will be well taken care of.

Just wanted to share this.

Best wishes,

Mikell, 34
