The content and variety of stories are fantastic though, would recommend to any prospective parent or woman trying.

    Would be good to sometimes have fewer questions and more of an inquisitive, conversationa... more

Bri + Oakley: Reduced Movements, Emergency CSection and NICU at 35 Weeks
Q: What was the most challenging part of the NICU journey for you, and what helped you cope?
The emotional difficulty of not having your baby with you, conflicting medical opinions, and the long days of waiting were overwhelming, but support from midwives, lactation consultants, Little Miracles staff, and a strong network of friends and neighbours helped sustain us.
Bri + Oakley: Reduced Movements, Emergency CSection and NICU at 35 Weeks
Q: How did the initial changes in Oakley's condition affect your birth plan and decisions in the weeks leading up to delivery?

Phoebe: When “Normal” Postpartum Pain Was Actually Osteoporosis
Q: What happened during the induction and birth?
Phoebe describes the induction, the two-day process, back-to-back contractions, eventual cesarean, and the baby's initial struggles requiring NICU support.

Q: What was the turning point in the NICU journey that gave you hope?
The specialists' assessments and the clear communication about potential outcomes, along with the decision to pursue further testing and care at Starship, helped the family navigate a frightening unknown with a plan for ongoing monitoring and treatment.
