Sometimes, your envisioned pregnancy and 'birth plan' do not align with reality. In this week's episode, the spotlight is on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where Lucy engages in a conversation with Frankie Harrison, a clinical psychologist and NICU mum. Despite facing the challenges of giving birth prematurely during the Covid era, Frankie shares her personal journey of spending weeks in the NICU with her newborn. The discussion focusses around preparing for a NICU experience, coping with its emotional and physical aspects, and why follow up care and support in the shape of a community is so important.
