Episode eight - A family history of pre eclampsia ignored

Welcome to That NICU Mum, a podcast sharing the stories of New Zealand parents who have had babies in neonatal units across the country.Today we are talking to Tayarni, who despite voicing her concerns over her family history of pre-eclampsia was not given anything to help prevent developing the disease herself antenatally and as a result ended up delivering her son at 28+4.Tayarni also does not shy away from speaking about her struggles with her mental health and the trouble she had receiving help from Maternal Mental Health following the birth of her son.Both she and son Joel are doing really well now 5 months on, and hopefully Joel will be completely oxygen free soon!I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting.Chat soon,Shan x x Hosted on Acast.
