Therapy for Micro-Preemie and NICU Moms in NY and FL
Most moms would agree that regardless of the details and planning, all they really wanted was to leave the hospital with a healthy baby.
Being stuck in the NICU is tiring, and isolating. Your body is healing, and you’re asking yourself what you did wrong to end up here — you did NOTHING wrong.
And when you’re honest with yourself, you know you can’t keep doing what you’ve been doing any more. Holding yourself accountable for the unpredictable is going to stand in your way of being a present, open parent.
You are trying to everything possible to help your baby succeed, all the PT, OT, Speech and feeding therapy appointments every week - It’s starting to catch up with you. The lack of sleep, and time for yourself, are starting to show. You’re irritable and anxious, and you can feel the physical effects of the stress you’ve been carrying in your body.
All of your friends seem like they can handle their new babies, and they want to give you ‘expert’ advice, which may not apply to you and your baby’s needs — and honestly, are kind of annoying. Sometimes it even feels like your spouse doesn’t get how hard it is, or why you’re so stressed. They may have returned to their desk job full-time and don’t get the “NICU life”, and seem absent from the daily medical conversations.
I can help you get on the same page, and help you adjust to the “new normal”.
