[quote=Anonymous]I had a 32 week baby who spent one month in the nicu. It was before remote work was big, so I didn't even consider working. I spent an additional week in thr hospital after birth, both for physical recovery (it was rough) and because my baby was there and they offered me extra patient time to be close. When I went home I was driving to the hospital every day. My husband did go back to work, and took his leave after the baby came home. But I spent my time at the nicu or at home pumping. It was very emotionally draining. We did not have as much at home time obviously, but that was just the reality. I was bonding with my baby at the nicu. I took 12 weeks total so still had 2 months of leave at home (which were exhausting and draining keeping up with feeding schedules... i actually missed the nicu nurse help!). Good luck to you and your baby![/quote]
