Nicu depression?

Lauren • Had my sweet girl 02/22/20 - 5 weeks early due to rare genetic disorder💗 Had my handsome man 09/30/22 - 3 weeks early due to low birth weight💙

My daughters in the NICU, has only been here for 4 days. She was born at 35 weeks 3 days.

I feel so sad and miserable, and then I feel guilty because I’m going through nothing compared to what she’s going through.

I feel like once she overcomes one thing, she falls behind on another. She came off oxygen, then had to go under a bilirubin light. Then the next day she came out from the light, but can’t keep her oxygen in level to do bottle feeds anymore.

Then the next day she got her IV out, but had to go back under the light, which makes her so sad because she has to wear the eye mask and it makes me so sad for her.

It’s always one step forward, 2 steps back, and we haven’t even been here a week. I feel like we’re never going to get to go home. 💔
