Thank you for sharing @lisa0713! Wow 26 weeks, I couldn't imagine. That was quite a journey. I'm glad everything has been going well. Yes, we did Birth-3 too. What a god send. How nice that they come to you instead of having to go in for constant checkups. I know exactly what you mean about the fear of them falling behind. Who knows if that will ever go away. Early intervention is so important! Did you have any panic attacks or feeling like hear-we-go-again at all when you were in giving birth to Kayson?

I enjoyed reading yours as well! Yes, I loved the reassurance birth-3 provided. They were always able to help answer questions and provide additional contacts and resources if needed. I wouldn’t say I had any anxiety attacks. I did have a moment where I just started crying thinking I didn’t know how I could do it all over again. Lucky for me, it seemed much easier the second time and a lot less intense. My deliveries were so fast I honestly didn’t have time to panic. And after, I rode that level of adrenaline and it pushed me through. Both children have had very little set backs since discharge 🙌🏼
