Through the Isolette Doors: A NICU Journey

from Healing Birth · host Diana Forsell Tayan

Jes shares the brutal, raw, and ultimately hopeful story of experiencing two premature births and navigating the NICU with both of her babies. Her first baby was born at 27 weeks, and her second at 30 weeks, leading to two deeply emotional NICU journeys that changed her forever. She opens up about birth trauma, motherhood after premature birth, and what it's really like to parent preemie babies through long NICU stays. Jes shares her story to inspire other mothers, and, most of all, so another NICU mom listening can feel a little less alone.          You can find the book Jes wrote about her experience here: NICU Mamahood: The Musings of a NICU Mama  Find Jes on Facebook  If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on  Spotify or Apple Podcasts!  Follow me on Instagram @healingbirth Do you have a birth story you'd like to share on the podcast, or would like to otherwise connect?
