Manage episode 367389856 series 3476026
Are you a NICU mama? Did you and your baby have to navigate an unexpected NICU stay after what seemed like a near-picture-perfect birth? Having now have experienced having a baby in the NICU, I can understand how stressful of a situation it can be.
If you’ve ever felt like your NICU stay was not as "severe" as others so maybe not as valid, please know that is not the case. Your experience matters just as much as the NICU mama next to you.
In this episode, I dive into the following:
- The shock I felt having my daughter in the NICU after what was such a beautiful birth experience.
- The confusion of trying to figure out the root cause of her issues.
- Navigating a NICU stay while healing from birth.
- …and so much more!
If you’ve been wondering, “Am I alone in this?”, I promise you’re not. Have a listen!
Preparing for a NICU stay could easily be part of our postpartum preparation process. Although it’s not something we plan to happen, it’s something we should be prepared for if it does happen. If you are wanting to be intentional with your postpartum planning and would like a resource to help you, I have a Postpartum Planning Workbook you could check out. It’s filled with worksheets, education, trackers, and guided prompts to help you prepare for postpartum ahead of time instead of when you’re in the thick of it.
