The Scary & Helpless NICU, doesn’t have to Define Your Baby or Family’s Future

See this content in the original post

Sitting in the hospital, not knowing what is next.

What will the doctors say about my 1 lb baby?

How long will my baby be in here?

Will my baby make it?

Why did my body fail me and this baby?

In honor of NICU Awareness Month, I have my friend Brandi Storey on the podcast to tell her story.

Brandi lives outside of Fort Worth with her husband, Jamie and two little girls.

Brandi's second pregnancy was a little different than her first. She was admitted to the hospital at 26 weeks pregnant for bed rest with pre-eclampsia and started induction 6 days later because of HELLP syndrome. Penny was born at 27 weeks and spent 112 days in the NICU.

Brandi suffered from a lot of guilt right after birth and feeling disconnected from her baby. They also struggled with juggling a high risk baby in the hospital all while having a 2 year old at home.

She shares the hard & unknowing times, how Jamie & her stayed strong through it all & how celebrating the small victories, lead to the big victory. As well as, advice for couples and families who have a baby in the NICU today.
