  • Today is Emma’s first day working in Princess Alexandra Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, otherwise known as the NICU, where premature and critically ill babies receive round-the-clock care.
    Twenty years ago, many of these babies wouldn’t have survived but now thanks to advances in medical technology, the hospital can treat babies born as early as 24 weeks.

    What the mom of the twins said about having sunlight at home in their room, I can so relate to that! Our son was in 2 different NICU's for 76 days, the first one we had a private room and more freedom to do what we wanted, I'd open the shades every morning so that sunlight would come in.

    When I was a surgical veterinary nurse we use to say, "When they are crying, they are not dieing"
    It sounds particularly harsh, especially when about tiny humans. But it is true.

      It is totally true. Crying is the only form of communication newborns have. If they aren't communicating it is concerning. The most beautiful sound on earth is the cry of a newborn.

    I cannot get enough of this series. When you are only age 20 it's hard to be mature enough to not be afraid. This young husband is SO GOOD with his wife.

    Haha. Emma's face seeing the NG tube removed was perfect!. Nurses should have to have an NG placed on themselves. It is not super fun at all. Before my surgical tubes were put in they would place NG/J tubes. My condition meant vomiting would often push it up out of place. The first time I pulled it at home (so i didnt choke on it as it coils up in the throat) I filmed it and 3ven though id had it removed before it shocked the heck out of me

    Love that the NHS knows the benefits of breastfeeding. USA infants with Rocky's NICU issues would be on formula by release time. Thank you NHS! Believe in mothers!

    How come none of these women get epidurals? Why would you go through this pain?

    • @amandaober3787

      Angel Fitzwilliams Obviously I can only speak from personal experience, but I hate the idea of an epidural. I had my first without one and I'm 39 weeks with my second and don't plan to get one. I hate needles (frankly more scared of that giant needle than having a natural birth!), there is a potential of having lifetime side effects from one (back pain, and other issues), the baby is effected in the womb -usually with an ok outcome, but they get the full effects of the epidural and can be slow to respond once born. It tends to be that when medical intervention is done, more often you will require more (like inductions leading to epidurals, and c-sections more often than natural birth) and you cannot get up and move around after the birth at all. I was so glad to take a shower after my daughter was born! That's my opinion, and obviously there are a lot of positives to having an epidural too, its really the preference of the mom!

      Angel Fitzwilliams Epidurals are not as common in the UK as they are in the US. UK midwives recognize the benefits of natural birth, and therefore recognize the need to support women through their labor every step of the way. Epidurals are still available for mothers who truly want them, but in contrast to the US, mothers in the UK are empowered throughout their pregnancy and birth, and are reminded of just how strong and capable they are as women.
      Birth is not a disease, it is a natural process, and unfortunately far too often doctors in the US push interventions like epidurals onto their patients not because they want to help ease their patients pain, but because they feel inconvenienced by natural birthing mothers. If natural birth wasn’t seen as impossible and horrific in the US, and if US women were supported and empowered by their healthcare providers throughout their pregnancy and birth (and even prior to pregnancy), we would have a lot less mothers getting epidurals, and would have a lot less additional interventions because of it. The maternal death rate is significantly lower in the the UK for a reason. The US has one of the highest maternal death rates in the world, and a large part of that is due to the jump to use interventions during birth that are preventable and not always necessary. Epidurals are not without risk or complications, both for the mother and the baby. It’s not as simple as a risk free pain eraser. There are a multitude of interventions that an epidural can lead to, one being stalled labor, which then leads to more interventions and ultimately a c-sections, which is a major surgery, and our c-section rates are also some of the highest in the world. You ask why would you go through the pain, but you also need to be asking why you would go through unnecessary and risky interventions, that can be prevented. Interventions that put mother and baby’s life at greater risk. Risk prevention should be at the forefront of birth, but in the US convenience is typically at the forefront instead, for both healthcare workers and birthing mothers. Epidurals should not be as common practice as they are. I am not saying they are bad or that they should be nonexistent, nor do I think less of any mother who desires one, as that is her right to choose to birth in whatever way she desires, but they wouldn’t be NEARLY as common if healthcare workers in the US developed the same model of care as Midwives use in the UK and other countries that are on the forefront of risk prevention and lower maternal death/complication rates, all by creating a space that is supportive and empowering instead of fear-based.

      Had 4 babies. First thing I want is no pain so I can enjoy the experience of the proccess. I am a wimp, I know. But, I was in pre-term labor for weeks before delivery, so by the time its safe to deliver... I was beyond exhausted "Show me the needle!"

      My midwife said that if I could make it without help (my son) I have to deliver it without help! I was in pain for 48 hours nobody was interested if I'm in pain or not! Wish we'd have such midwife's and MCA.

    Well saying loo a him as a sentence is not a sentence because words are not said properly. So speak properly for once. No matter what parts of the world you are from, you still need to say all words properly if you are going to speak English
