Erica Mena gave birth to a baby boy and she is having quite a difficult time. Check out the emotional message that she shared on her social media account here.

‘New NICU Mommy. Day 10 Legend Brian Samuels & Mommy staying STRONG 🧿✨So far five out of the ten days I felt lost. I’m feeling guilty, confused and scared. I’ve been getting phone calls and receiving messages. I’m asked a million times how I’m doing and if I’m ok. But how can you be doing? Can you really be ok right now? BUT I Remind myself , they love me and they are reaching out BECAUSE they love me. They might not understand, but they want to. This journey I’m on, feels long. It has been tough. I’m taking steps forward, and I’m taking some back.I have good days, and I’m preparing for the bad ones,’ Erica began her post.

She continued and said: ‘Looking forward too……..Those days when you feel like your world is falling apart, they will pass. Those moments where you don’t recognize the person in the mirror, they will pass. The days you haven’t eaten, showered, slept. The guilt of not preventing this, of not being able to fix it either. It will pass. You will eat good again, you will shower long and get some good rest. You will be able to look in the mirror, and not cry. You will be able to talk about it. You will accept it. You will stop blaming yourself!’

It has also given me a different type of strength for not only me but my kids. King – Safire – Legend I promise you your mommy will make you proud. No more settling and fighting for anything that doesn’t deserve me only because you three forever deserve the best of me.’
