Hi there! My first pregnancy was high risk, lots of appointments and our NICU time was traumatic to say the least. That being said, our daughter is perfectly healthy now and we want to try for baby #2 this year. I’m excited to grow our family but terrified of experiencing anything like we did with our first on top of being pregnant and postpartum this time with a toddler. I’d love to hear your stories on pregnancy and postpartum after having a NICU baby.

For context— our daughter was in the NICU for a congenital birth defect that had an unknown cause and a very unlikely chance of occurring again in future pregnancies but still, the fear is there.
