On this episode we discuss babies who are born full term, but need additional assistance with a stay in the NICU.  So often we only associate premature birth with the NICU. While 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely, there is a segment of the NICU population who are born at full-term but need a stay in the NICU because of special circumstances. Our guest on this episode, Kori Robino, is a passionate and dedicated NICU mom who had this exact experience. As we always say, it doesn’t matter whether your baby is in the NICU for 3 days, 3 months, or longer, the experience is traumatic and life-altering. Hear Kori share her experiences having a full-term baby in the NICU and how she channeled her NICU journey into giving back to others navigating a similar path.
