S8 EP4 | Navigating Birthdays + Mamas Call In!

As NICU families, birthdays often come with a variety of emotions. Joy for the life of our NICU miracles, and grief for their entrance into the world. It’s not uncommon to feel a variety of emotions on birthdays, and in an effort to explore this more we reached out to this sisterhood to share their experiences with navigating and processing birthdays!

This episode’s prompt was, “How have you processed and felt on your NICU baby’s birthdays? What words of hope would you offer another NICU mama before a birthday?”

It was an honor to share responses from this community. To the NICU mamas navigating and processing all of the emotions that come with your NICU baby’s birthday, we hope you feel validated and seen throughout this episode. You are not alone!
