I gave birth to beautiful twin girls 3 weeks ago very quickly and unexpectedly at 30 weeks. My friends were wonderful initially, showering me and my family with caring messages and good wishes. The babies have now moved from nicu to scbu and we face our very long journey ahead of life visiting hospital daily and continuing to give our 2-year old then time he requires too.
Friends have behaved in a wide variety of ways - most don't take on board how long our girls will be in for, or they presume we won't want visitors until the girls are home. Truly, I'm desperate for friends to come over, but people don't seem to want to/it's just too much trouble. I'm not able to be flexible and had hoped others might be.
Has anyone else had this experience? I have great friends and lots of them, but they all seem keen to chat on social media/what'sapp without actually making the effort of coming round..
Thanks,
