    Welcome to That NICU Mum, a podcast sharing stories of New Zealand parents who have had a baby in a neonatal unit across the country.


    Today we speak with Pia and her journey through NICU after her daughter was born unexpectedly at 34+6. She shares with us how she found the unit, and then how she found her second birth, a term birth, and the experience with not having the support that NICU gives you.


    Enjoy!

    Today we speak with Reia, mum to Oscar and Olive who were both born at 38 weeks but also both needed the NICU for various reasons.

    Reia talks us through her pregnancies and births, which were as expected, and then the events that had both babies admitted to the NICU for about a week each.

    Reia is lovely to speak to and I'm glad that she gets to share her story as a term NICU parent - definitely a situation we don't hear about super often!


    Enjoy,

    This episode we speak with Maddy, whos son Jasper was born just before 34 weeks after her baby shower (sounds familiar to my own baby shower experience!) when it seemed that she had had a placental abruption. Jasper had a pretty straightforward NICU stay, being moved between North Shore where they were when when he was born and Rotorua where they live. Maddy talks about her easy pregnancy, her scary birth where she was under GA, and how they think that his gestation and dates were probably wrong considering his ease in which he flew through NICU!


    Enjoy,
