I've been admitted to hospital without my daughter

My asthma is uncontrollable ATM and I've been admitted for the third time this week. I've self discharged before now not wanting to leave my baby but I can't leave cuz it's not getting better. She's exclusively breastfed and sleeps with me. She's with her daddy now but she's never settled with him and refuses my breastmilk from a bottle. I'm just trying to stay calm but I miss her so much and I worry about them. She's our first and I'm the mum who does everything I can myself. Dad's there for entertainment only. I'm so worried and holding back tears. I just want to discharge myself again so I can hold her. I feel awful.

Show your support

Oh my gosh I am so sorry you are going through this. I understand your anxiety completely, is there anyone else who can support your husband with baby? How does he say it is going so far?

@Laura she's decided to learn to roll from her back tonight so he's having fun with that. She's safe with him, she just doesn't like him cuz he's boobless.. he's handling it better than expected thankfully. Unfortunately we're on our own. No family & our friends live in different cities/countries. 🙈

It sounds like you chose the right father for your baby, even if he is boobless 😉 hang in there best you can ❤️

@Laura thank you 🙏 your words have quietened my mind 😅

I’ve been there - discharging yourself would likely only prolong the issue. Better to have one hard night while you’re in the ER than things continuing to get worse for your health. You feel like you need to get back to your baby because you’re a great mom but you also need to focus on being a healthy mom so you can continue being a great mom. Wishing you luck and speedy doctors tonight

@Elizabeth thank you, that's exactly how I'm feeling. I'll be in here a while but they'll visit once I'm in a ward.
