I children will be 6 and 4 when my baby is born both my children have been born 9 weeks early, hopefully not but got to be expected as chances are high this baby will be too. my partner works and I am a student I will be finished for the summer when baby is here however I am worried about coping as I will need to look after my 6 and 4 year old while visiting hospital everyday for weeks. I know this was expected but just breaks my heart that when I have my babies I can never just take them home usually in hospital for at least 6 weeks I am panicking now. all my partner can have off is 2 weeks which leaves me feeling all the responsibility falls on me. sorry for the rant had to get that off my chest

That does sound really tough.
I'm sorry you've had such a difficult time.
Do you have any help nearby?

Wish I had some useful advice Flowers
I hope baby surprises you and waits a bit longer for you.

I'm sorry to hear that, it must have been so tough. My ds was born at 29 weeks and we spent 8 weeks in nicu. I'm now 17 weeks with dc 2 and dreading going through that again. Do they know why you went early?
