When I went into preterm labour, I felt sacred, shocked, guilty and pretty useless. But we know it's not your fault, it's normal to be sacred and shocked. However, you are the most important person in that NICU, your baby only has one you. Staff do fabulous work but nothing substitutes your smell, your touch and your voice. #nicuparents #nicudads #nicuparent #nicumomma #preterm #neonatology #earlybabies #earlybaby #parents #instaireland #babies (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cky1SYhKpLL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's undoubtedly a stressful time when your baby is admitted to the NICU after a preterm birth. It's a world most of us never knew existed. You may look around and think other parents are handling their time easier but really all you see is the top of the iceberg. Most of us are overwhelmed by the whole experience. Somehow you have to find the strength to keep going, keep getting out of bed and facing the unknown each day. Your inner warrior shines, we can see what fantastic parents you are. #nicuparents #nicuparent #parents #nicudads #nicumom #photooftheday #pretermbaby #nicu #preterm #pretermlabor #pretermbirth #nicubaby #newborn #prematurebaby #preemie #baby #nicumom #preemiebaby #love #premature #pregnancy #niculife #preemiestrong #pregnant #premmiepower #neonatology #mummyblogger #nicumum #preemiebabies #premmiebaby #insta #viral #photo #likes #bhfyp https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2Ftp-KUhc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
