I think it’s a very good sign that your doctor doesn’t seem worried. To be honest, after I had my baby, neither the baby docs nor the nurses seemed the slightest bit worried about her. As soon as she was out and checked, she was with me for nearly the whole time. They didn’t seem to be monitoring her ‘extra’ at all. I kept asking "Is she okay!?" And they kept saying, "Of course she is. She’s fine!" In fact, my pediatrician told me I could nurse, but I didn’t because I was just too worried. Now I wish I had….I think my OB worried because Sub was new territory to him and there wasn’t much info available in ’07; plus I had a complicated medical history, like epilepsy, and I’d had complicated previous pregnancies, so even with no Sub, I’d have been high risk. The NICU docs certainly didn’t seem concerned. They were more worried I’d end up with a baby in the NICU because I’d had a preemie previously.
You and your baby are going to be fine. You’re doing a great job.
