Two mother’s experiences having term babies in the NICU

In honor of NICU awareness month, I share the stories of two moms who had babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Stay tuned in a few weeks to hear stories from two other moms who had premature babies in the NICU. 

On this episode, we discuss: 

• Things NICU moms may be unprepared for 
• How the medical community can better support NICU parents 
• What others may not realize about having a NICU experience or being a NICU mom
• How to advocate for yourself and your baby
