Preemies and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
I'm a veteran NICU mom, and both of my children are Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) graduates. What does this mean, and how do doulas fit in to the picture? Well first let me introduce you to my daughet, born at 36 weeks, 4 lb 15 oz. She spent about 10 days in the NICU because I developed a blood infection, and she developed a blood infection in utero. She needed a few blood transfusions and constant antibiotics. She did make a full recovery and is now a lovely 8 year old
