💜 World Prematurity Day 2025 💜
Born 23 +5 weeks at 1lb 3oz and 1lb 4oz smaller then your hand, weighing less then a bag of sugar 💜💜
Two in incubators, two needing life support, two times the surgeries, two times the information to process, two babies to beg the doctors to save, twice the worry and the heartache, two sets of the hard conversations, two sets of cares to coordinate so I didn't miss out any chance I could of being with them. Spilt between two rooms a couple of times so I couldn't sit between them. But two times the mini mile stones, two times the loves, two times the celebrations, two times the miracles, two times the joy.
And I wonder why I have so much trauma and PTSD from back then 😭 I do my best daily to block I out and keep it at bay, but days like today it all comes flooding back 💜
Thank you to those back then who were there to try and help the pain, the hard days and the darkness. From the nurses and doctors, the amazing bliss nurse who helped more then anyone could have ever helped me. To family taking shifts to sit, bringing food and clothing. To another mum in there who swapped bays with me to get my girls back together. Your kindness sits with me daily. Something so small and simple as swapping made life so much easier
