Today we have a Jes, a postpartum doula on the Empowered Beginnings team, on to talk to us about the birth and NICU stay of her second child. She wanted to share this story to bring light to the world of being a NICU parent. Jes is a wife and mother of two children, postpartum doula and pediatric sleep consultant, and an passionate plant and pug lover.

Summary

Jes shares her birth stories, focusing on her second pregnancy and birth. Her first birth was a natural, birth center birth with midwifery care. For her second pregnancy, she experienced complications with high blood pressure and had to switch to an OB. She was put on bed rest and eventually gave birth at 32 weeks. Despite the challenges, she had an unmedicated birth and her baby was taken to the NICU. Jes reflects on the stark contrast between her two birth experiences and the emotional journey of having a baby in the NICU. She shares her experience of having a baby in the NICU and offers advice for other parents going through a similar situation. She emphasizes the importance of being with your baby as much as possible and taking advantage of the help offered by friends and family. Jes also encourages parents to be advocates for their baby's care and to communicate with the medical staff about their goals and concerns. She shares her own struggles with postpartum depression and highlights the need for mental health support during and after a NICU stay. Jes concludes by reminding listeners to focus on the milestones and progress their baby is making, and to celebrate each small victory.
