About this ebook
A starkly emotional account from a NICU Mother on her daughters fight for life and often turbulent journey through NICU after being born suddenly at just 25 weeks into pregnancy. Giving a uniquely raw insight into life as a parent in the NICU, Natasha takes you on an intimate journey through her first experience. This story of love and survival through NICU offers support for families and their supporters as they find their own way through their premature journeys as well as being a must read for a glimpse into this highly medicalised world through a parents eyes.
“Poignant and humbling to read” Wesley, Amazon.com
“Beautiful, raw emotion, the fear and joy of mothering a premature baby. A true "rollercoaster" ride. Keeps the reader on the edge, willing this baby every breath and heartbeat till the end.” Fiona, Amazon.co.uk
“I found tis book very cathartic to read...It is an honest, wonderful read about surviving the most traumatic start to your child’s life, and also shows how amazing the NICU team is...” Carol, Amazon.co.uk
