Hannah and Greg’s Inspiring Natural Birth and NICU Journey

In this episode, we have an incredible birth story for you. This is a story where Hannah’s natural birth was quickly overshadowed by an extensive NICU stay with their son. Hannah and Greg took my Hypnobirthing class early in her pregnancy and did extensive preparation. What started as a planned birth center birth became a hospital transfer due to the baby’s early gestation. 

Hannah had become the “planner for the unplannable” due to her knowing her birth ideals well over a year before she became pregnant. Little did she know that all of that thinking ahead helped her establish great care and an amazing village of support.

Greg shares how participating in multiple classes helped him support Hannah and plan for different birth scenarios. Together, they discuss the challenges and triumphs of their NICU experience, emphasizing the importance of advocacy, self-care, and staying optimistic. This episode is a testament to the resilience of parents and the power of preparation, offering hope and inspiration for anyone who finds themselves on a similar journey.
