Surviving Prematurity: With compassion, understanding and family integrated care

Surviving Prematurity offers a unique and compelling personal perspective on the triggers of stress and trauma that parents can encounter during a neonatal stay. The challenges inherent in being hurled into the unknown world of parenting prematurely born twins, and the varying uptake of Family Integrated Care (FICare) across neonatal units are explored in detail. These issues are illustrated with insights, interviews and honest accounts from healthcare professionals and parents. Using vividly described vignettes of her experiences, Nadia allows the reader to feel the emotion of everything her and her husband experienced as parents in extreme circumstances. She offers a sometimes brutal, but much needed view into the world of neonatal parents, the rollercoaster of emotions and exhausting fear of losing her babies.
