Newbies host Kaile Garcia interviews Theresa Hunt, a level three NICU nurse in Northeast Ohio, about what parents can expect during a NICU stay.

Hunt explains NICU levels 1–4, which babies are admitted (including those born before 35 weeks), and how transfers work when higher-level care is needed. She describes typical assignments ranging from “feeder growers” to critical infants needing IV medications and respiratory support, and shares ways nurses prepare parents by setting expectations and involving them in care through touch, diapering, weighing, skin-to-skin, and feeding practice.

The discussion covers breastfeeding in the NICU, pumping, “nuzzling,” lactation support, and measuring intake, along with discharge milestones and corrected/adjusted age. Hunt outlines night-shift routines, visiting policies, and common items families bring, and ends with a story of a 22-week infant who survived without deficits.

Host Kaile Garcia welcomes Lori Harding, a Dallas-based Pilates instructor and solo mom of an under-one-year-old, to discuss working out postpartum and its physical and mental health benefits.

Lori shares her planned C-section birth story due to placenta previa, her IVF baby born on World IVF Day, and returning to exercise about eight weeks postpartum after being medically cleared.

She explains contemporary Pilates on a reformer as strength-focused training distinct from classical Pilates, and describes how she supports postpartum and pregnant clients with modifications, accessible transitions, and encouragement to listen to their bodies and give themselves grace.

The episode includes at-home movement ideas (squats, lunges, light weights, standing core) and Lori’s “aha” moment from her first postpartum class.
