I chat with Will Jackson, a Dad that I met on day two of my NICU journey. Will opens up on his experiences in the NICU, and we discuss all aspects of his journey, and how it effected him.
NICU life is not the same for every Dad. Different parts of a NICU journey will impact Dads in a myriad of ways, and it is up to the individual to work out how to process what is happening, and deal with it in their own way.
Not all Dads will look after their physical health or mental health in the best way. Not all Dads will know what to do when thrown a challenge or setback, and not all Dads can be the 'rock' that they think is expected of them.
Another unexplored aspect is the trauma that NICU life places on parents, and the worry that this could all happen again when trying to expand their family. Would it put you off trying again? Have you thought about it? Do you need to talk to your partner about it?
