Product Description
How Do I Still Be A Mom? You prepared for the expected. What about the unexpected events that lead you directly to the confines of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit? As you begin your new role, you can feel more like a visitor than a mom as the (temporary) circumstances dictate the part you will play in your new baby's life. This book validates a mother's anguish of leaving the hospital without her baby while helping her to embrace the unique experience of parenting a preemie. Learn how to become a part of your baby's world. Find out what you can expect from him and from his new surroundings. Discover ways to be involved in his care and follow his progress. Make the most of this time and remember, bonding doesn't happen all at once. Whatever you do, don't take a back seat and wait for it all to be over. |
