My Little Aiden Was Born At 32 weeks 6 days. He weights 3 pounds 12 ounces. Of course he is in the nicu but I can't stop thinking about how long he will be there 😔 anybody experience this ? How long did your baby stay ?

Question

Answer

NICU nurse here, in our unit we typically tell the parents somewhere around the due date, so 38-40 weeks gestation. This is just an estimate though and I am only a nurse, not a doctor so I can't give medical advice, only personal experience. It all depends on your baby, whether you received adequate steroids, whether the baby develops feeding intolerance (typical in preemies), and many other factors. We like to say that a baby has to do 3 major things to go home: breathe on their own, eat on their own, and hold their temperature on their own. Of course, every baby is different and the MAJORITY go home before their due date. If you ask to sit down with your Neonatologist, they will be able to give you a more accurate projection.

Stay strong, mama. This NICU nurse is sending prayers your way! And don't forget to take care of yourself too!!

Answer

Prayers for you and baby!!

He is very beautiful, he's gonna stay there until he gains weight they probably want him weighing 5-6lbs before he can go, and they will want to see how fast is he going to gain.
