[quote=Anonymous]I had a 33.5 week baby who spent 12 days in the NICU. There is absolutely no way I could have worked while he was in the NICU. You will need to rest, recover, and spend the majority of your time at the hospital. It will take up all of your mental and emotional bandwidth. I took 12-13 weeks off total before going back to work and hired a nanny. It definitely helped reduce germ exposure. Good luck! My “baby” just turned 11 and is very smart and healthy. He took longer to walk and talk but caught up over time. Feeding was the biggest challenge in the first two months but he did finally master it over time. [/quote]
