💛 NICU Survival Guide: : 7 Things That Actually Helped Me

Описание: How do you survive 4 months in the NICU without losing yourself? After our baby was born at 23 weeks in Germany, we had to find ways to stay grounded through the uncertainty, the language barriers, and the long hospital routine.

In this episode, I share the 7 things that actually helped me stay sane during our journey. Whether you are navigating a German hospital as an expat or sitting in a NICU anywhere in the world, I hope these reflections offer you a sense of quiet support and solidarity.
