NICU

I'm 26+6 pregnant right now and have known for awhile my baby will more than likely have to spend a week I. NICU this is my third baby and my first time dealing with this with my first he got to leave the hospital two weeks before I did and with my second I didn't let her leave my sight our whole stay which was just 2 days. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally and am terrified I want to breastfeed and spend as much time with my baby girl she will be my last. Is there any advice mothers of babies in NICU can give to help me prepare. Did you know ahead like me or not.

Why will she be in the nicu if u don't mind me asking.  I went into labor at 26 weeks so I knew she would spend time in the nicu just didn't know how much depending how much longer she decided to stay in. There is really no advice to help deal with this I hated the feeling i was so depressed but I knew it was for the best and the nurses were better qualified than me if something went wrong. . I bought my pump and immediately started pumping.
