I've been thinking about this a lot over the past day as I've been very focused on the negative aspects. Of course we all know that having a preemie is very traumatic that you wouldn't want to happen to anyone but I thought it might be nice to think about the positive things that have come out this bad situation if anyone has some.
For me it's -
*I'm already so proud of my wee fighter as he's been through so much.
*I appreciate him more and every little accomplishment than I think I probably would have had he been born with no problems and healthy
*It's strengthened the bond between me and his dad. He never faltered once by my side the whole way through my difficult pregnancy, birth and after
*I'm stronger than I thought I was. I've always been prone to panic attacks and my dp fully expected a freak-out when I was wheeled in for a c-s but I stayed calm as I knew it had to be done. He told me after he was so proud of me and it made me feel really good about myself.
*It's focused me on what really matters in my life - my family
*It's made me more confident in myself and self-assured.
So does anyone else feel that something positive has come out of it (or am I just weird?)
