Health anxiety & the divide between NICU and home with a sibling - Enya | S3E56
Description
If you’re struggling to handle the divide between NICU and your other children at home – know that you are definitely not alone.
Today’s guest Enya had her toddler Saoirse at home while she was in NICU with her 28 weeker, Roisin, and she shares in today’s episode about how she handled feeling split between the two. Additionally, her health anxiety began to worsen after NICU as well, and we talk about how she manages that with all the medical follow ups that come after a stay in NICU.
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
- Enya’s belief that you should always listen to your gut and why that meant baby Roisin survived
- The divide between a baby in NICU and a toddler at home and how Enya managed it
- What having health anxiety is like and things that have helped Enya
- Documenting the NICU experience, especially now that it’s “over” (though it never is!)
- What support after NICU should look like though sadly doesn’t
