Hi,
My friend had her first baby on Tuesday at 36 weeks, bit of a shock as there were no signs he was going to come early and she had a tough time of it, had to be cut and have forceps, baby is in SCBU as his lungs are underdeveloped.
Just wanted some opinions of what I should do from someone who has been there.
I have text her to offer support of any kind, I don't feel a close enough friend to just turn up and help but not sure she is the type to ask for help if she did need it if you know what I mean? I had Dc2 6 months ago so I know how hard it is, both physically and emotionally to have a new baby and I imagine this is so much worse when the baby is in SCBU.
Should I just keep letting her know I am here if she needs me or should I be doing something more, dont want to overface her if she just needs to be alone with her husband to look after their baby boy.
Thank you.
