About My NICU Story
My NICU Story is a heartfelt platform designed to support, empower, and connect families navigating the complex journey of the NICU. Founded by a mother of two preemies, each born with unique challenges, My NICU Story offers a compassionate community where parents can find hope, resilience, and encouragement. With personal experiences spanning from a 30-week birth at 3 lbs 8 oz to the more fragile arrival of a 24-weeker weighing just 1 lb 10 oz, both requiring extensive NICU stays of 36 to 119 days, this platform is grounded in an authentic understanding of the rollercoaster that NICU families face.
Through shared stories, practical resources, and a community of empathy, My NICU Story aims to provide parents with insights and reassurance that they're not alone. Our mission is to bring together families who understand the journey—offering inspiration, support, and guidance as they navigate the ups and downs of NICU life and beyond. Here, families can gain practical tips, connect with others who share their experience, and draw strength from a network that knows the depths of love, patience, and resilience it takes to endure and thrive through the NICU experience. Whether you are at the beginning of your NICU journey or further along, My NICU Story is here to foster healing, hope, and unity."
