Hi all! I’m a mod at !WomensStuff@piefed.blahaj.zone a trans inclusive woman only group. I’d really like to do some parenting posts. I’m not a parent so can’t do good ones.
There are even quite a few “not a parent” comments here, which I’m fine with as long as it’s not judging parents who are actually living in the trenches.
Any parent I know who has had a child with specific medical stuff found their communities on FB. Reddit lacked specific support, and Lemmy even less so. I hope your daughter is ok!
Appreciate it! She was born stupidly early - a little more than 3 months ahead of schedule. Birth weight 1.25 pounds/580 grams. When she came home she was on oxygen for a while and that really sucked. She’s also had (and still does) some feeding difficulties but that seems to be improving overall.
Still some developmental delays, but she’s definitely cruising. Today was day 4 of preschool (our state has universal preschool, and lets you enroll a year early for kids like mine). Already starting to see changes in her! Given how many “nano preemies” seem to have long-term issues, we seem to be doing pretty well now.

That sounds massively stressful. She’s so fortunate to have you. I’m glad she’s doing well now.
