I was so excited for the discharge day and now that it’s here I’m freaking out

Our 29-weeker is getting ready to come home in just a few days. Other than hypoglycemia, she doesn’t have any issues that we know of. She’s just tiny, she was born with IUGR, she weighed only 860g. Right now she’s at 2,700g, she’s growing nicely. She has no problems with eating either. She will come home on low flow oxygen, as many preemies here due to high elevation. How did you handle your nerves when you could finally have your baby home? Not having all the medical support, the monitors, and just the lack of closeness of help scares me.We will get educated about the oxygen tanks and all that, but I wanted to know how did you guys find handling the situation. Was it messy, difficult, annoying? How do they decide when to take the baby off the oxygen? If you notice that the baby has a longer desat or a brady, what do you do other than stimulating? Sometimes I notice these events myself, but sometimes the machine beeps and I wouldn’t have told that the baby had something going on. I know that the doctors wouldn’t send her home if they thought it was unsafe, but I’m not trusting my judgement and I just have so many worries right now. I know I’m overthinking it probably but I keep spiraling around “what if I don’t wake up to my alarm in the middle of the night to feed her?” “what if I’m so exhausted that I don’t notice a brady during feeding and I don’t let her take a break?” and so on.I think what I’m looking for here is stories about how you got used to the situation, when was the first time that you weren’t just staring at your baby during the night until you passed out, etc.I’m extremely excited but also worried that I won’t be a good enough parent and that she won’t be safe with me. ♥️ via /r/NICUParents https://ift.tt/ZLIBNSd
