Prepare for NICU practically - a Digital Guide

The Guide You’ll Wish You Had Before It Happens

A 16-page digital guide for mums preparing for a possible NICU stay - or walking into one unexpectedly.

For the moments when everything feels uncertain.

For the hospital bag you’re packing with shaking hands.

For the words no one prepared you for.

If You’re Reading This…

• You’ve been told your baby might need NICU.

• You’re high-risk and trying to mentally prepare.

• Or you’re already there - overwhelmed and googling at 2am.

And no one has really explained what it’s going to feel like.

This guide is written by a NICU mum - not a textbook.

It’s the calm voice I wish I had.

What This Guide Actually Helps With

This isn’t medical advice.

It’s emotional preparation + practical clarity.

Inside, you’ll find:

• What to pack (that no one tells you about)

• Daily survival essentials

• Breast pumping essentials and tips

• Emotional survival tools

• Affirmations

• Our personal story & daily NICU routine 

• Communication and Boundaries

• Extra resources & community

• 15 Tips I wish I knew before we went in. 

It’s short.
It’s simple.
It’s grounding.

Only 16 pages - because when you’re overwhelmed, you don’t need 80.

Why It Matters

When you feel prepared, even slightly…

You breathe differently.
You ask better questions.
You feel less alone.

And that changes everything.

• Mums with medical complications

• Families told to “just be prepared”

• Partners wanting to understand what NICU might be like

From One NICU Mum to Another

I know the feeling of walking into NICU.

The machines.
The alarms.
The fear.

I also know how much calmer I would have felt if someone had explained it gently beforehand.

That’s why I wrote this.

You don’t have to go in blind.
