Ep 275: What EVERYONE Who’s Pregnant Needs To Know About The NICU with Mary Farrelly, RN
This episode may be about the NICU but it’s for any and every person who’s having a baby. The reason I say that is because it’s actually way more common than you think that a baby needs to receive intensive care. Nearly 40% of babies who go to the NICU are full-term.
As a mom of two NICU babies, let me tell you: it’s the NICU nurses who are at your side. NICU nurses are angels and today’s guest is one! Mary Farrelly, a certified NICU nurse and trained doula, is leading the way in helping parents navigate the NICU journey. You know I always say it’s important to listen to real experts - and today’s guest is exactly that!
In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
- What NICU stands for and what the levels are
- Why babies go to the NICU
- What NICU nurses do and what training is required
- How to include the NICU in your birth plan
- Why blending NICU nurse and doula roles benefits families
- Which procedures are commonly used in the NICU
- What emotional support looks like for families post-NICU
