maisym - I don't "know", I said I thought that they discouraged it with a baby that small earlier and asked anyone to correct me. A couple of posters said it was their understanding too. Am quite prepared to say I'm wrong if they know better.

AlphaMummyIsStinkingRich · 16/07/2007 20:36

What would Mumsnet know about successful people and their lifestyle choices? You're all second-rate common folk. Mothers like me can handle having 63 children, a fleet of staff and a really important job. Top that!

Yah Alpha, know what you mean, no point in having it if you can't flash it is there

nightowl · 16/07/2007 20:40

yes, one more post. the one thing i vividly remember about ds was that it was three days before i could hold him. he was ventilated and i could touch his hand through the little porthole type thing, that was all.

three days. not a long time but it nearly killed me not being able to hold my own child. cant imagine jetting off abroad.

IsabelWatchingItRainInMacondo · 16/07/2007 20:40

The thing that I find worst about this thread is that so many mums have come with painful memories trying to convince a likely troll.

Mozhe is fishing for a reaction in each of her posts in this thread, I think she is just having fun at the price of genuinely upsetting some mums, particularly those who have been in the same situation.

DiagonAllieBongo · 16/07/2007 20:41

this is hideous. mohze must surely have fur on her hands and drive a truck

maisym · 16/07/2007 20:41

no problem kew - it just seemed such a huge statement to make!

I see what the others mean and being able to stroke your baby in the incubator and be there must be just what the little one needs.

thomcat · 16/07/2007 20:43

I'm not here to judge but Mozhe - if you are still reading - my DD was born with SN's and was in SCBU. I ws staying in with her. On day 3 of her life it was my God-daughters birthday and I got a pass out for the night. Thought it would do me good and wanted to be with my Goddaughter. I wasn't prepared for how I felt being away from my DD. It was awful and the shock of the situation and her being in the hospital without me was too much to bear and I rushed back to her side. It was more about how everything that had been going on really hit me when I was away from her and it was pretty awful. We're very different people but it'd just a friendly word of warning.

Hope your LO is out of hospital soon.

DiagonAllieBongo · 16/07/2007 20:44

is this for real?

How old is the baby?

I am sure you will have a great time and enjoy yourself.

I personally could not leave a poorly newborn baby. I couldn't have left my very healthy newborn TBH though. My whole body needed to be with her, getting to know here, beonding, nurturing and caring for her.

Each to there own.

When posting this you MUST have realised that this would be seen as unacceptable to many people, and that people would judge. If you didn't then you are very niave.

IsabelWatchingItRainInMacondo · 16/07/2007 20:57

a week old, aparently

ELF1981 · 16/07/2007 21:12

WOW
I am in shock.

My company asked me to fly to Dublin for a few days to stay in one of their new offices. I refused to unless I could arrange to take DD. She's not yet two and I haven't got to the stage where I feel comfortable not seeing her every day and it will take a long time before I agree for her to stop at somebodies house all night.

While I appreciate that I cannot know what it is like to be in the OP's shoes, and I pray I never do, surely it would be better to wait a little while and then arrange a holiday?

Controlfreakyflitwick your comment about her being a hair arsed trucker from the East midlands, I take offense, I am from the East midlands myself and trust me, we're far too normal to start this type of thread!!

HermionesPatronus · 16/07/2007 21:16

edam - i am sure they are

maybe some behaviour being 'judged' also borders on cruelty

HelenLoveJoyOfSpringfield · 16/07/2007 21:16

Who is zookeeper??

She's been licking mozhe's arse in every thread I've read

For the record... Mozhe can not have a maternal bone in her body...

dassie · 16/07/2007 21:18

My cousin (in France) had a premature baby and she cuddled her loads etc. Then they discovered she had a whole in her heart after a couple of weeks and she was in and out of hospital. My cousin was allowed to be with her as much as she could etc. So I don't think its that different in France.

yogimum · 16/07/2007 21:21

I'm sure its hurricane season in the caribbean? What if you got stuck out there and couldn't get back?

LoonyLyraLovegood · 16/07/2007 21:22

Why are you all reacting to this? There's nothing Mozhe likes more than to stir up anger with her provocative posting.
I don't believe half the stuff she posts.

HermionesPatronus · 16/07/2007 21:22

but what about the other 3 children ?? dont they need a holiday

all the boys can stay put whilst Mohze has some 'girly'time

i dont buy any of this

Hulababy · 16/07/2007 21:23

TBH I am a tad suprised at how many posters think that going on a long haul holiday, with half the family, leaving the other half back home, two weeks after a birth and wtih a 2 week old newborn poorly in special care, is perfectly acceptable and normal!

Can't help but think mozhe is having a good chortle about the responses.

tribpot · 16/07/2007 21:25

Hula - I do it all the time

(Have nothing to add but felt it was worth putting my name down on this thread just for the record)

HermionesPatronus · 16/07/2007 21:29
