Feeling angry
My baby is 5 weeks old (38 weeks corrected), my health visitor showed up to weigh her on Monday and didn’t say anything about feeling ill on Wednesday she rang me and said oh just to let you know I’ve come down with a really bad cold and I had it on Monday. And now I’m sat in A&E because my baby is struggling to breath and is sucking in at the ribs and isn’t taking her feeds. Surely a health visitor should know better 🤦♀️ I’m feeling so triggered right now with all the beeping of the machines (even down to the breast pump they’ve leant me as it’s the one I used in nicu) and everything going on and I’m in a completely different hospital in a completely different area as I was visiting my mother in law. I just want to go home and be with my son as well as he’s having a hard time watching me and my baby go off in a ambulance 🤦♀️😭
Your feelings are valid. I would feel so triggered by something like that. I just brought my 5 week (38 weeks corrected) home on match 4th and if I had to go back in because a healthcare worker was irresponsible I’d be livid too. I hope your son feels better soon and you get to go home.
