I have been thinking about this too. My family knows my history that I’m on sub and the possibility of NAS and they are supportive but my husband’s family has no idea and we do not want them to know! They are old fashioned and judgemental. If the baby does have to stay a little longer I was thinking of just saying that they are watching her for any problems because of all the health issues I’ve had and meds I’m on. I am on quite a few different ones for different issues and have had thyroid and blood pressure problems. We just won’t offer up any detailed explanations and give vague answers/play dumb if they ask questions. My sister-in-law is a nurse and a nosy little witch so she’s the only one I’d be worried about but really, it’s none of her’s or any one else’s business!
You could say they suspect an infection or something to that effect. Talk to the nurses and let them know your concerns, if they’re nice see if they may have some suggestions. They cannot violate HIPPA laws!
