Inside the Mono-Mono Twin NICU Experience: Trauma, Resilience & Becoming a NICU Doula ","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3386,"description":"Some NICU journeys begin long before delivery — and Natascha Bohmann’s story is one of them. After a high-risk mono-mono twin pregnancy, a lengthy inpatient hospitalization, and a NICU stay for her daughters, she walked through every chapter of uncertainty a family can face: fear, waiting, grief, advocacy, and rebuilding life on the other side.In this episode, Natascha shares how her experience as a NICU mom, combined with her deep background in yoga therapy, grief support, end-of-life care, and healthcare communications, shaped her calling to become a NICU doula. Her story is a powerful reminder that the NICU doesn’t end at discharge — and that families need more emotional, informational, and integrative support than our current system offers. We explore what it’s really like to prepare for an inpatient stay, navigate high-risk pregnancy, transition home after NICU, and rediscover your voice as both a parent and a professional. Whether you’re a NICU parent or a doula building NICU-informed skills, Natascha’s wisdom offers grounding, clarity, and a path forward. NICU Support & Resources for Families and Professionals: Stay connected with me @thenicutranslator on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenicutranslator/Want to learn more about how to best support NICU babies and their families before, during and after a NICU experience?
