Dr. Shani and How She Prepared For The Unexpected
Today’s show is a deeply personal and insightful episode of our podcast. Ashley and I interview Dr. Shani, a former Hypnobirthing student and local acupuncturist as she recounts her unexpected, urgent c section and stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Dr. Shani candidly discusses the critical role her doula played in navigating the turbulent waters of postpartum recovery and her battle with preeclampsia. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of being prepared, the strength found in support systems, and the resilience of parents and their newborn. She also speaks on the rollercoaster of emotions parents face and the profound impact of their involvement in their infant's care while in the NICU.
Dr. Shani, with her wealth of expertise, underscores the necessity of self-advocacy in medical settings, drawing from her own experiences to help expectant parents.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by the NICU experience or seeking to understand the unpredictable nature of childbirth. Tune in for a journey that will leave you informed, inspired, and deeply connected to these courageous stories of parenthood.
Dr. Shani is also a doula and specializes in herbal and acupuncture care for the pregnancy and postpartum time.
