Depression/disconnect... need input

Samantha

Hello! I’m sorry to intrude on this group but was really looking for some insight to help out a close friend. She just had her baby six weeks early due to preeclampsia, the baby is doing well but still in nicu, and she is still struggling with her pressures. She seems extremely disconnected from her baby and is clearly depressed and out of sorts. She isn’t asking to see her child and will even say no when the nurses offer. I know how tough the first days of motherhood are but have not exprerienced that added stress if pre term labor, nicu, pre eclampsia and the many stresses that go along with all of that. If any of you might have some insight/advice/experiences/what may have helped you if you experienced this. I would greatly appreciate it. Thoughts and prayers to all of your families and beautiful little babies. Thanks again in advance!
