Babe! Congratulations, I’m so so happy for you Thank you, we had a bit of a difficult birth. Don’t worry about it - they are here now! That’s true! We’re in the NICU and not quite sure how things are going to play out. Stop worrying babe, all will be fine - give bubba a squeeze and I’ll be round as soon as you’re home. And in those moments is when you feel most alone - surrounded by love and happiness But no one quite gets it Everything said to you comes from a good place You don’t want to be a burden and have a pity party for yourself By saying what’s really going down. So you keep the silence. Yeah babe - I can’t wait for you to meet our gorgeous little girl, I’ll message you soon xx I wouldn’t of known what to say to my friend Why would I I didn’t know what the NICU was Or what happens behind those double doors. Placing information about the NICU in antenatal packs is not scare mongering Leaving it out, is failing 1 in 7 families. #nicuawarenessmonth #nicumom #nicumum #nicumama #nicubaby #nicubabies #prematurebaby #preemiesofinstagram #preemiestrong #preemie #preemiebaby #newmum #newmom #twinmom #twinmum #twinsofinstagram #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #midwife #midwifery #birth #birthtrauma #nhs #nhsnurse #maternalmentalhealth
