NICU Nurses: Everyday Heroes - Baby Hospital - Medical Documentary

That dad that looked at not only his baby but all the other babies. And he said “all these parents are suffering right now” so sweet that’s a good heart right there

[@megantiseo7439]

After almost 18 years, this is still hard for me to watch. Daughter born at 25weeks 1lb15oz. Spent 76 days in NICU. Many ups and downs. She’s going into senior year HS. So thankful but these emotions never go away.

Wow …18 years ago a 25 week old fetus surviving was almost unheard of. I’m an RN and I worked in labor and delivery for 22 years….. What a long hard fight for all you , and I can only imagine the emotional roller coaster for you ..! How wonderful that she’s done so well but I totally understand how the emotions must still be so raw and possibly at times seem like it all just happened, especially because you’re life was in such precarious state.

I had a micro-preemie 48 years ago. It was touch and go, and we discovered she had cerebral palsy. None of that slowed her down, in fact it caused her to work harder at life. Now, she is a doctor herself. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@retiredcatlady]

I began my nursing career as a NICU RN and am 70 yrs old now. Taking care of those precious babies was and is my favorite part of my nursing years. God bless all of the tiny babies now and those who care for them and their dear parents. Many miracles have I witnessed. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@cindychaney3450]

I was born at 27 weeks in 1956 ! A miracle for sure .I weighed a little over two pounds. I turned 68 yesterday! I pray for these tiny babies.

[@TrueEnergizerBunnies]

Mohammed's dad seems like such a standup guy. He thinks of all the other parents with their NICU babies. He's so gentle and kind. Drops everything when his wife is crying and tells the camera crew to leave them alone for a minute. He wants to break down and cry but he knows he needs to be strong and get things done. That's a good man right there.

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I can't even imagine what it must have felt like for both of them. I completely empathize with the mother for being afraid to visit or look at the pictures, she was deeply in shock and if she saw the pictures then the situation they are in becomes real and she couldn't deal with it at the moment. Going into labor suddenly, without warning, your baby in the hospital, not being in your home country, probably going to lose your job and be in massive debt. I don't think I could do what either of them went through. I'm so glad things worked out well in the end.

[@cherl3738]

My daughter was born at 30 wks and weighed 3 lbs 2 oz. She is healthy and became a RN. I'm very proud of her !!

[@crittaable]

Mohammeds dad is beautiful...his baby weighs 710gms but he looks around NICU and says "all these other parents are suffering"...he's thinking about others before his own pain...that is so sweet and selfless...

[@jacqueline8559]

Wow, so many memories. I was a Neonatal nurse for 30 years and , despite the stress, i loved it. I worked in NICU's in 3 Countries around the World . Its a blessing, and huge privilege, to work with these tiny, beautiful babies. I had to leave, after becoming suddenly ill, and I miss these babies and my career so much

[@keidwyn]

Im sorry for your illness taking away your beautiful career ,I so hope you know you made so much difference to also so many people and that your illness improves .

The staff in this ward are amazing and I agree they are heroes. I don't think I would be strong enough to be able to do this. I am bawling just watching this video. I would be useless. Thank God there are incredible people like these nurses and doctors who can. ❤

[@marievictoriaskjnberg8260]

I am a preeme baby myself. I was never in a critical state thank god, but this makes me emotional. I still have the intensive care diary from my stay in the hospital that the nurses made ❤ my parents named me Victoria because of its meaning “victory”. My dad thought it was a victory that I survived without being critical and don’t have any complications!

[@MB-uy5kh]

Even when they live mere hours or days, they will always have a piece of your heart. My 32 week son, was born weighing 3 lbs / 8 ozs due to placenta abruption. He did poorly since birth due to trauma of abruption. I hemorrhaged and coded on the operating table. My angel was on earth for 48 hours before earning his wings. We had our second daughter three years later. So when asked how many children I have, I tell people I have two daughters and one angel in heaven waiting for me.

[@xpdnc2u]

So lovely to see the parents supporting each other.

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Seeing the parents being complete strangers and comforting each other is happy, but heartbreaking. Seeing one mom come out crying and another mom just walks up to her and hugs her made me tear up.

I have identical triplet nieces who were born at 28 weeks gestation. The smallest of the 3 weighed 1 lb 7 oz. The other 2 were 2 pounds and 2 pounds 2oz. The smallest was so small because her umbilical cord wasn't working properly. The last ultrasound she was 1lb 14 oz and that was 1 week before she was born. She gained 7oz very quickly and was back up to 1lb 14oz in about 2 days.

Our son was born with a heart defect, and had open heart surgery the next day. When they took the 30 staples out, he split open to the heart! He was in the NICU for 5 & 1/2 months! After we got him home, I tube-fed him for 9 months! I had a 4 yr. Old, and a 2 1/2 year old. And my husband took a job traveling so we had insurance to cover the hospital expenses, he worked away 28-32 weeks/year. He’s doing great, he’s 39 in November and they are expecting their third baby. He teaches Physics in an international school.

[@almondjoys8824]

My mom spent 6 weeks in NICU with my premature brother, he came home and within a month suffered anaphylactic shock from his first vaccines, so they spent another month in NICU, then when he started to recover a nurse mistakenly gave him a double blood transfusion and blew a large amount of his blood vessels causing severe internal bleeding… so he spent a few more weeks in NICU… He’s now 26 and healthy but to this day if you ask my mom about NICU she will tell you they saw so many families in worse shape than them and many didn’t make it, it just made my parents so thankful….

[@julesmpc1314]

A common issue no one talk about is parental leave in these circumstances: mothers and fathers face their leave whilet the baby is in ICU, once the child is cleared their leave has already ended or is about to. Its a massive hit to the family and the child that has serious repercussions to the child.
