S1 E7 - Lara & Cass: Premature Birth, NICU, Preeclampsia, C-Section Recovery, Same-Sex Couple, Tube Feeding and Hospital to Home Care.
Description
CONTENT WARNING: NICU and extreme prematurity - if you do not feel you are in a headspace to listen to today's episode, please skip this one and return whenever you are ready.
In this episode, we talk to Lara & Cass, a couple from Sydney who had their little boy Sunny at just 27 weeks gestation and had a lengthy NICU stay.
This episode is a little different as it focuses much more on Sunny's journey than Lara's, reflecting their experience. Due to the severity of Sunny's condition, most of their energy was prioritized toward his recovery.
Despite their many challenges, Cass & Lara describe their experience positively, and they attribute their ongoing positivity to the support they had around them during this time.
This episode is raw and emotional, and we are so grateful to Lara and Cass for their vulnerability and for sharing their incredible journey so far with us.
