In June I went to change the look of the blog to your original view. The bubblegum pink I had not the inspiration for continuing to write new experiences as a woman and not die trying, so I decided to return to my roots bloggers to see if that worked better.
That same month, I learned of a happy news: he was going to be a mom. The initial shock after seeing the outcome of the pregnancy test that the stick and the digital display tells you how long you followed a plethora of calls to close relatives ("You are going to be a grandmother / or!" Etc ...) . They react in different ways. For example, my mother thought that we were playing a joke and took to react. My mother, who was at the hairdresser combing, he shared all clients of the story (you could hear their cries for joy over the phone). My father had a shock and said that with the economic crisis we were crazy (the day after it happened and was very pleased and happy for us.) To the friends we told later, of course, because we had not even done the first scan and did not really know if everything was fine.
At first I was heartened by the power to tell my experience during pregnancy here. Even pondered the "tone" that should have entries (you could tell human stories and very funny first pregnancy occurred at an innocent like me liven my three followers) but could not be. My pregnancy was considered at risk, I had preterm labor in the second quarter and I had complete bed rest until the baby could not be more (fetal welfare loss) and was born just 32 weeks of gestation (seven months).
That made me the mother of a premature birth which is nothing more to just 1.300 kg of weight were taken to the neonatal ICU to prepare for the operation that would save her life.
Premature babies are mighty warriors. They cling to life with incredible strength, they struggle to cope with hard and are on all major premature (babies born with six months of gestation or less) as small miracles to which we must want very much to complete its development truncated.
Today, my baby is home eating, sleeping, taking weight and began to smile but before that lived in an incubator in a Neonatal Unit Maternity birthplace for many weeks.
is very hard to take your baby go home with you when you leave the hospital several days after giving birth like other moms and babies. It is very hard to grasp that you can only see and touch your baby through a narrow little doors that all incubator has for weeks or months have to pass on it until you are discharged. It is very difficult to create an immediate bond with a little person that you could not know completely in pregnancy after failing to conclude it by the circumstances. It is very difficult to assimilate that prematurity carries potential health problems (this depends on the baby and weeks of gestation completed at birth but often have heart or respiratory problems for example and need ventilation or surgery). It is very hard to take your baby will live from now with a "corrected age" and that its development is measured by summing the corrected age at the time when he should have born at term (for example, my baby is almost two months' corrected age "that is, that if a baby born in week 40 of gestation begins to take solid foods at six months, I should add two more and start pureed fruits give about eight months. This, however, is approximate because it is premature achieved before these eight months without problems.)
staff modern neonatal units are highly trained people. Both nurses, auxiliaries, neonatólgos, pediatric surgeons, etc ... help you with all your love and expertise to understand the situation of your baby and your own as a parent of a premature child. Many maternity
current can be 24 hours next to your baby, talking, singing, learning to feed, to change the diaper, rocking in your arms, despite the "wires" attached to sensors that measurement of oxygen and pulse, to the tracks that provide the drugs and, at first, the food it needs to grow ... I had never heard the term "Mother Kangaroo Method" * until then. Now, I know what it is for having practiced daily with my baby, even twice a day.
Once past the hospital, take the baby home entails important adjustments. For example, you can not sleep at night because your baby is cared for by a nurse and an auxiliary feed you while you're gone. We learned in a week to integrate the baby and integrate with it. A rise at midnight to give the bottle and diaper change, to stay one with her while the other goes to the greengrocers and the super, etc ... Day by day we grow, and do not mind having to think about their corrected age, only that she is here and is the most beautiful in this world.
* Mother Kangaroo Method : skin to skin contact between mother and child placed in strictly vertical position, between the breasts maternal and under clothing. Mothers are directly meet the vital needs and emotional needs: keep the baby's temperature at least as effectively as an incubator and are also the main source of nutrition and stimulation. Many studies have shown that the temperature, oxygenation, heart rate and other physiological parameters remain normal in the kangaroo position. The baby can be fed at any time without leaving the position. Any other person (the father, for example) can share the role of the mother had bundled him into the kangaroo position.
