Sit & look at your baby who isn't just 'little' but has body shorter than a ruler & weighing less than the leg of lamb you roasted for dinner.Notice his transparent skin & opaque eyes.See the tubes going into his nose & down his throat, IV lines in his legs & arms. His arms & legs pinned to the bed by these IVs so he doesn't accidentally pull them out & bleed to death.The heart monitor plugs covering what little remaining flesh isn't covered by the other equipment,remember to switch your glance between him & the monitor those leads run to so you are certain hes breathing.Hes so little you cant always tell.Just sit & look ,no touching,hes still too little to risk contamination,so of course you cant take him out of the humidity crib for a cuddle, he couldnt survive the temperature changes or breathe the air, he needs the pressure from the crib too, just to keep him alive.Theres no bottles or breastfeeding hes to underdeveloped to suckle, add another tube down his throat into his stomach & feed him through that.
So whats the big deal of being rushed for emergency surgery to deliver a baby you thought wouldnt be here for another 12 weeks,remember you expect to carry for 40 weeks not 28.Wat does it feel like to know that leaving you is the best chance your baby has to live.Isnt a Mother the best to care for her baby? What have you done wrong?Nature can be cruel & medical science steps in to try to put things back to the way they "should be".You beg the Drs not to use a general anesthetic so you could at least see him but he was whisked straight away anyway just a blurr out of the corner of your crying eye.There is lots of activity beyond your vision but no one has the time to tell you what was happening,it was a minute or too before you heard this squeek.Your Husband tells you that whisper was your babys cry.But there was only one, arent babies supposed to cry lots when theyre born, is he ok?You dont know nor does Hubby, bubs already been whisked away,the Dr still there can only tell you they'll do all the can....
How cruel is it to sit & look at this tiny baby & not know if you will ever hold him? IF & it often is a VERY BIG if (though few have the courage to tell you to your face, its when the Dr/nurse doesnt look at your face you hear their true meaning) IF he survives will he be blind,deaf, brain damaged, will there organ damage,will he need surgery to correct brain heomorages at a date earlier than he was ment to be born,the next time he stops breathing (common in prems) will a tap be enough to get him going again?Will he be here when I come back tomorrow,will he be alive when I come back from the toilet?
So whats the big deal when your baby is one month old before you can actually touch & hold him?You still dont know what his quality of life will be, its still to early to tell & some things like brain hemorages can happen without warning & cause massive irriversable damamge.So what if you are battling desperatly to express every 2 hrs day & night,be at the hospital every waking moment.When youre not at the hospital with him you physically ache to be there, when you are there you so desperatly want to be with him at home, away from all of this. Having a baby is a happy joyous experiance, shared with family & friends, but you dont want to complain or feel jeoulous, at least hes still alive & for feeling resentful at what you feel robbed of you also dread the alternative.not needing to go to the hospital because he didnt make it.
Now hes 2 months old hes still in intensive care, theyre saying hes doing really well but still not sure when he can come home.Youve seen babies come into the NICU & then you dont see the Mums anymore,you often know its best not to ask the nurses because there but by the grace of God go you.You learn not to ask many things, think many things but if only you could stop yourself feeling. Feeling the elation at hearing he should move to special care in a day of to only to come crashing down agin when he has a setback, bottle feeding was abit to tiresome and his lung started to deflate but hes ok we got to him before it collapsed but we wont try bottles agin for a week to give him a chance to strengthen.
Do prems just happen to druggies?Nah & you know what if I could have been drugged out of my brain it just may have been easier to cope Bad things also happen to good people.I had an undiagnosed immune disorder which as well as nearly killing me ment my baby was nolonger safe in my body. Both unable to be noruished & running the risk my immune system would start attacking him & kill him. So I also had the added quilt that it was 'my fault' even though it was totally beyond my control it was my body killing my baby.There were bubs had heart defects, blood dissorders & incompatabilities genetic disorders.Mums with uncontrolled diabeties, preeclampsia , premature membrane rupture & other common pregnancy complications that got out of control.

Question About Home Fetal Doppler Baby Heart Monitors?
JkB2521
I was just curious if anyone has used a home fetal doppler baby heart monitor during their pregnancy
I am 11 weeks and I just ordered mine today ~ I am renting one to use.
How was your experience if you used one ?
How often did you listen to your babies heart beat ?
How many weeks were you when you first started using one ?
Thanks so much for your help !!! :o)
Answer
I bought one when I first found out I was pregnant with my son. I couldn't hear his heartbeat until I was around 15 weeks but I LOVED it! I had just lost a baby right before I got pregnant with my son so it put my mind at ease between dr appts. I listened to his heartbeat everyday several times a day! I just loved hearing that he was ok. You can even hear the movements and kicks! Even hiccups. Its so cute. I'm sure you'll love it. Congrats on the baby!
