Episode #137: A Year in the NICU with Emily Hughes

Please remember that the views on this podcast and website are not meant to be substituted for medical advice, shouldn’t be used to diagnose, treat or cure any conditions, and are intended for general information purposes only.

Stephanie interviews Emily Hughes, a mama who navigated a full year in the NICU with her first born child. Emily shares her story as well as tips for parents who find themselves in the NICU. We discuss what you can do to support friends and family members who have a little one in the NICU and how you can support your mental health through this process. As with Dr. Psota’s story, this one is a tear-jerker and we want to give the disclaimer that it may be triggering.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • A heartfelt story about navigating life for 1 year in the NICU
  • Navigating work and NICU life
  • How to stay mentally and physically strong
  • Advice and tips for NICU parents
  • How to support parents who may be navigating the NICU
  • Resources for mamas and more
