[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, while it is well known that a traumatic birth/NICU stay can have lasting effects for the parents, no support is provided to mitigate those issue. I had a traumatic birth with a early/low birth weight preemie. My daughter was in the NICU for 10 weeks, and I heard a lot about the emotional issues that I might face, but no one provided any information about where I might find a therapist/support group/other support services. When my daughter came home, the NICU had set up appointments with the NICU follow up clinic/eye doctor/home visiting nurse for the baby-but nothing for me. In my life now, I am totally capable of finding and scheduling the care I need. But at the time, after a long hospital stay for me, feeling physically wrecked, tiny and sick baby who couldn't eat without turning blue-I really need the extra step of having services set up for me.[/quote]
