That NICU Mum

Episode six - Sudden pre-eclampsia and a near death experience


Listen Later

Welcome to That NICU Mum, a podcast sharing stories from New Zealand parents who have had a baby in neonatal units across the country.


Todays episode features Sam who's daughter Nellie was born just before 32 weeks due to sudden severe pre-eclampsia that saw Sam become extremely unwell and in the ICU for days after her daughter's birth.

Sam talks about how she struggled to bond with Nellie after birth, and how difficult it was moving from Wellington NICU to Lower Hutt SCBU - all while her partner went weeks without seeing his daughter because of Covid lockdown.


I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting to Sam!


Chat soon,
