This is actually very common for nicu parents! Being in the labor and delivery room with my sil where my son was born made me cry, alarms make me panic, and if I talk about what we went through I am an absolute mess. Being pregnant right now I’m having tons of anxiety because I don’t feel like I could mentally handle the nicu life again. Look up nicu ptsd, it’s very real and you’re not alone!
Preemie PTSD.
Ny best friend just had her second baby. He was born at 29 weeks. He's now in the NICU my son was in. He was 27 weeks.
Obviously im not gonna say anything to her because she needs support but every time I see pictures of her son in the hospital I have flashbacks of my son and feel like it's him in there all over again.. it's making it really hard to keep seeing her posts. She's been my best friend for 11 years so obviously im gonna be there for her no matter what.
I just needed to say it to somebody.
