Any NICU moms have flash backs? - Page 2

Yes, and as PreemieMama said, it's always right there under the surface. For me, 5 years later, it's rarely about a doctor's visit or anything that you'd expect. Somehow I get through all of that, probably with the same control that got me through the NICU. It's other stuff. Meeting women pregnant with twins who are out and about and complaining (understandably, given their experience) about how much everything hurts and I have no clue because I never got to be that pregnant. Or visiting friends in the hospital with newborns and realizing how freaked rooked we were of all that. Baby showers are awful. And there's other stuff that I would never expect to get me, and all of a sudden I'm right back there.

 Now I am 20 weeks pregnant with twins and just dread having to go back to the NICU again!  

 Congratulations!  I know you've heard it a million times, but remember every pregnancy is different.  I hope you never see the NiCU again.  I worry that a future pregancy would bring up a lot of emotions about DD's birth...but that's part of it, I guess.  Best wishes to you for a long happy pregnancy!
