There’s a strange dip after being in the NICU. The loneliness follows you home But it doesn’t last forever. There are mums just like you Who have sat in the same recliner chair you have Walked the eerily quiet corridors from the maternity ward to the NICU before you And there will be others who will have to walk out of those double doors at night Without their baby, just like you had to. With every setback During and after NICU We want you to know, you’re not alone. When it feels like the world wants us to forget about our baby’s NICU journey Let go Move on Because they are fine now. We want to tell you There are mums just like you Who know it may take you a bit more time And it’s not as easy as ‘they’re home now’. We share the heaviness, joy and hope No one gets it like we do You’ll find what it feels like to be you again Just in your own time 💙 To connect with other families currently or recently on the neonatal unit, @blisscharity has a Facebook Support group for parents and carers with a baby born sick or premature. It is a safe space for sharing stories, emotional support and practical advice with others who know what it's like to be there. #nicu #nicumum #nicubaby #nicumom #prematurebaby #preemiebaby #preemiestrong #nicuwarrior #pregnant #pregnancy #twins #twinsofinstagram #mumsofinstagram #momsofinstagram #mummybloggeruk #mummyblogger #postpartumbody #postnatal #postnataldepression
