Ep. 226: Coping with an Unexpected NICU Stay with Casey Lewis

Casey Lewis is a NICU Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Neonatal Therapist & Certified Lactation Counselor who experienced placental abruption that led to an emergency c-section and in an unexpected twist, she found herself receiving care as NICU parent rather than giving care as a clinician. In today’s episode, she shares the physical and emotional demands of your baby being in the NICU, tips for coping and how to effectively communicate with medical staff about your preferences for your baby’s care. She also tells her birth story and how she knew something was wrong.

 

This is such an informative episode that makes NICU parents feel seen and non-NICU parents feel prepared.
