Having a premature baby: A fresh start with extra worries
"The silence was different. I listened for breath, not to calm myself – but because I was afraid it would disappear."

Having a premature baby is like being thrown into parenthood with too little time and too many questions. You may not even have time to fully experience the joy before worries take over.
Some parents describe it as walking around with a constant warning shoe in their body – a worry that doesn't go away, even after returning home from the hospital.

Not just small – but vulnerable
Premature babies are more susceptible to infections, temperature drops, apnea episodes and stress than full-term babies. Their nervous systems are immature, and they use more energy on very basic functions such as breathing, temperature regulation and circulation.
As a parent, this often means you have to be on guard – all the time. Is the temperature okay? Is the baby too quiet? What about the oxygen saturation?
Many people say that returning home is both long-awaited and frightening. Because now you are suddenly responsible for everything. You are the one who will discover if anything changes.

When silence doesn't feel safe
It's a paradox: We want peace and quiet. But when the baby is premature, the silence can feel dangerous. What if something happens and we don't notice?
BabySensor is made for parents like you – who don't just want to hope everything is fine, but actually know it. It measures heart rate, oxygen and temperature, and sends alerts if anything changes.
You get insights without disturbing others. And you can share the app with your partner or babysitter, so you're not alone in the responsibility.

You don't have to be the monitor.
When your child is healthy enough to go home, you will be the mom or dad – not the nurse. But the transition is not always that easy.
Maybe you still wake up many times during the night. Maybe you feel a deep sense of restlessness, even when your baby is sleeping peacefully. Maybe you sleep best with the light on and your ear to the baby monitor.
You are not alone.
With a little extra security, your body can start to relax. Not because the risk is gone, but because you know someone is watching – along with you.

The Premature Association provides community and understanding
Many parents describe their contact with the Norwegian Premature Birth Association as a turning point. There's something about meeting others who understand – without you having to explain everything.
Through the Prematurforeningen you can connect with other parents, ask questions, get support and feel less alone. You will learn that what you are feeling is normal. That there are many who have felt the same mixture of pride, anxiety and overwhelm.
A community where you can relax a little. Because in a world where your baby needs extra care, you need it too.
