When the baby arrives prematurely – and everything changes

“We didn’t know it was a respiratory arrest. Just that he suddenly went silent. We called 911 – and
ended up in the emergency room, then Tønsberg Hospital. A half-hour drive. But it felt like more
24 hours.”
Several of the parents we have spoken to say the same thing:
A small, vulnerable life that needs everything – and an everyday life that is suddenly about surveillance,
alarms and fear of the invisible.
“We had her at home. But we never felt like we could leave the house. Not without knowing
the oxygen saturation. Not without seeing it on a screen.”

It's not just about premature birth – it's about
about everything afterwards

Having a baby prematurely is life-changing. Not only because the baby is small and vulnerable, but because you as a
The parent is thrown into a state of constant alertness.
“It was as if I stopped breathing with her. Every sound could mean something. Every
The silence was eerie.”
Some parents talk about becoming experts overnight. On measurements, saturation, breathing, skin color.
Others describe a life marked by anxiety about sleeping. Not because they don't want to, but because they
Don't dare.
“I wouldn't sleep without someone watching. Even if we were home. Even if things were 'going well.'”

The small victories – and the great loneliness

Parents of premature babies describe a two-part journey. On the one hand: the love and
the joy of a little person who fights stronger day by day.
On the other: the loneliness of standing in something few understand.
“People said: Now she's out of the hospital. Now it's over. But for us it only began then.”
“There were so many people asking how she was. No one asked how I was.”

When returning home doesn't feel safe

Many people say that the journey home from the hospital does not always feel like a relief. On the contrary, it can
on the contrary, reinforce the sense of responsibility – and the fear of overlooking something important.
“We went from nurses, machines, and monitoring – to silence. It was brutal.”
“Everything was new. No alarm. No one to ask. Just me and the fear of doing something wrong.”

You are not alone - and you are not unreasonable

Worrying is normal. Being overwhelmed is normal.
Wanting security, even after the baby is "cleared", is not a sign of weakness - but
on love.
“I just wanted to be a mom – not a nurse. But it didn’t work out.”
“We need more support, also afterwards. Not just when the baby is in the incubator.”

That's why we exist.

BabySensor is designed for parents who have experienced real anxiety – and who need more than a
traditional baby call.
We measure pulse, oxygen saturation and temperature. But the most important thing we provide is safety.
Not because you should be afraid. But because you deserve to relax a little more.
Because no one should have to guess how the baby is feeling.
Because you deserve to sleep – and know that someone is watching.

When Your Baby Arrives Too Soon - And
Everything Changes

"We didn't realize it was a breathing pause. Just that he suddenly went quiet. We called 911
– ended up at the emergency clinic, then the hospital in Tønsberg. It's only a 30-minute
drive. But it felt like days.”
Several parents we've spoken to describe the same thing:
A tiny, vulnerable life that needs everything – and a new reality filled with monitors, alarms,
and fear of the unseen.
"She was finally home. But we never felt safe leaving the house. Not without knowing her
oxygen levels. Not without seeing it on a screen.”

It's not just about a premature birth – it's everything
that follows

Having a baby too early changes everything. Not only because the child is small and fragile,
but because you, as a parent, are thrown into a state of constant alert.
"It was like I stopped breathing with her. Every sound could mean something. Every silence
“was terrifying.”
Some parents say they became experts overnight. In oxygen levels, vital signs, skin color.
Others describe being afraid to sleep. Not because they didn't want to – but because they did
didn't dare.
"I couldn't sleep unless someone was watching over here. Even at home. Even when things
“were ‘okay’.”

The small victories – and the deep loneliness

Parents of preemies often describe a double experience. On one hand: the love and joy of
watching a tiny person fight to grow stronger every day.
On the other: the isolation of going through something few can truly understand.
"People said: 'She's home now – it's all over.' But for us, that's when it really began.”
"So many asked how she was doing. No one asked how I was doing."

When going home doesn't feel safe

Many parents share that being discharged from the hospital does not always feel like relief.
In fact, it can deepen the fear – the sense that everything is now up to you.
"We went from nurses, machines and constant monitoring – to silence. It was brutal."

"Everything was new. No alarms. No one to ask. Just me – and the fear of missing
something.”

You're not alone – and you're not unreasonable

Worry is normal. Overwhelm is normal.
Wanting reassurance – even after your baby is “healthy” – is not weakness. It's love.
"I just wanted to be a mom – not a nurse. But I couldn't."
"We need support afterwards, too. Not just when they're in the NICU."

That's why we exist

BabySensor was created for parents who know real fear – and need more than just a
traditional baby monitor.
We track heart rate, oxygen saturation and temperature. But what we really offer is peace of
mind.
Not because you should be afraid. But because you deserve to feel calm.
Because no parent should have to guess how their baby is doing.
Because you deserve to rest – and know someone's watching over your child.
