Welcome to That NICU Mum, a podcast sharing the stories of New Zealand parents who have had a baby in a neonatal unit across the country. This episode of That NICU Mum is supported by the Premmie Knitting Club, a NZ registered charity which has a virtual tribe of knitters providing beautiful knitted clothing to units across the country. A huge thank you to Courtney and the whole PKC team for supporting us and our podcast!You can find them online premmieknittingclub.org and on instagram and facebook @premmieknittingclubnzToday's episode we speak with Mikayla, whos nearly 8 year old Odette was born spontaneously at 33 weeks. Mikayla has PCOS, so potentially there may be a link there between PCOS and pre term labour!She talks to us about her experiences in the unit and what she has taken away from her time in there, her ability to help her best friend through a similar experience 4 years after Dotty was born, and her mental health throughout her pregnancy.Mikayla was heaps of fun to talk to. Enjoy!Shan x x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
