[quote=Anonymous]I had a NICU baby who stayed in for 88 days. I had 2 older kids at home. I went back to work when she stabilized around 5 weeks. I had to save my maternity leave for when she actually got home. I got A LOT of judgement for it from nurses and other moms. Thank GOD I joined a NICU support group and met lots of women who had to do the exact same thing. I worked from 8- 5, went home and got my other 2 kids settled and went to the NICU around 9pm and spent the night. DH went to NICU straight from work from 5pm and came home around 830 so we could switch. I am not proud of it but I knew she wouldn't be permitted to go to daycare till 12 months so i was already going to be hiring a nanny which was way more money then I had expected so every day of leave and every hour of pay counted for me. I also am the one to carry my families health insurance. Please don't judge unless you've been in a similar situation. No on WANTS to leave their child at a hospital. [/quote]
