    Been there! It’s the most terrifying yet rewarding experience I’ve ever had to date! My oldest son was born at 27.5 weeks and weighed 836 g (1 lb, 13.5 oz) I’ve never prayed or cried so much in my life than I did the first few days of his life. Then my fight kicked in; he was always a fighter, so I had to match that. It was a long 77 days, but he made it! He’s 25, healthy, strong, and handsome now! 🥰 Thank you to all NICU doctors and nurses! You’re all angels and heroes! ❤

    My baby was born at 26 weeks and he is almost coming home! He's currently 37 weeks and I couldn't be happier. Because of the experience I'm going through I would LOVE to be a NICU nurse to help others. I appreciate the work of all nurses and doctors especially those involved in the NICU because you have no idea what is preemie baby moms emotionally go through. I'm forever grateful. May God bless all the nurses and doctors and this new preemie mommy appreciates your work!!!

It hardly costs anything and is the best work on the subject available. Just type in Benedict Wills-Eve on Amazon for a link to the best read you'll have for a long time. he's my son and was born at 23 weeks!

    Every child gets this same treatment, it doesn't matter if the parents are millionaires or homeless. Same exact care. I had no insurance when my first son was born and he needed a more High tech NICU then the one at the hospital he was born at because they weren't expecting any issues. He was transferred to John Hopkins Pediatric Hospitals NICU and they saved his life. My sisters husband is from The U.K. And they lived in the U.K. for a year, yes everyone gets treatment but they hated it, you have to wait long periods to get appointments among many issues they had in the UK healthcare system. They've moved back to the states and have private insurance now where you decide on your care and which doctors, specialists you'd like to go to and don't have to wait weeks/months to get an appointment.

    The Health care system in the US is disgusting! Is only about money. Doctors are like an untouchable entity. To get to them, you have to go through staff and nurses. However they get paid disgustingly high salaries. Doctors are in touch with patients. I’m from Europe and living in the US since 12 years. There’s no one better than me that can better describe the difference between the system here and the system in Europe. Docs here have rarely compassion an rather driven by profit. In Europe is quite the way around. Patients have direct contacts and access to docs and docs are compassionate. They don’t count and bill the minutes you are with them. You can call them at the phone and they are available to you. Here who is available is the nurse. Could it be that doctors in Europe are as they should be, compassionate, because they are not paid disgusting high salaries? Could it be because they are not money blinded by the system? Yes, I believe so!
