Nellinka was born a quarter of a year early, spent four months in the hospital: Welcome home, Cvrčka!<

Adéla carried Nellinka under her heart for only 25 weeks, while a normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. After her placenta bled and the amniotic fluid drained, she ended up in the hands of experts at a specialized center in the U Apolinář maternity hospital in Prague, where they focus on extremely premature babies. And it was there that Nellinka spent over four months before she grew up and could go home to her family.

She can revive

However, before the little cricket was released, the mother and the doctor had to to discuss when and what checks await them in the coming weeks. "I also learned resuscitation on the doll," Adéla revealed, adding that Nellince is still being fed oxygen into the carrier, but only in a small amount.

Puzzle for the little brother

While Adéla and her partner Pavel (26) went to the maternity hospital as much as possible, the little brother Maxim (3) saw Nellinka for the first time after arriving home. "We even thought that the nurse would bring him a present. But he wasn't that enthusiastic about the puzzles, he said he wanted a model," laughed Adéla. And it is said that there is a slight chaos at home. "Maxim wants to help with everything, it just fits," she added.

Every kilometer helps

The virus can be destroyed either by freezing (but not 100 percent) or by using a shock pasteurizer. But the device costs a million crowns and none of the maternity hospitals in the Czech Republic have it. As part of the 11th year of the Kros–Štiřín charity run, with the keyword #rokproapolinare, awareness of the problem of premature babies is spreading on social networks, and a collection was created for a pasteurizer. You can contribute to it by sending money or participating and paying the starting online run. More at: www.kros-stirin.cz.
