Medical Conditions
Nurture Information Hub
If your baby has been diagnosed with a medical condition, you may be feeling a range of emotions including anger, shock, sadness and fear, and these feelings can become overwhelming in an already stressful situation. Talking about your feelings to your social worker, nurse or another NICU parent who has also had a baby diagnosed with a medical condition can help you come to terms with any anxiety and stress you may be feeling.
Most parents find it helpful to learn what they can about their baby’s medical condition. The information helps parents feel like they are more in control and prepared, and this information can be helpful when considering options regarding any treatment. Some parents avoid the internet due to concerns whether the information is correct, and they prefer to rely on the information offered by their health care team. If you do wish to look for information, it may be helpful to as your health care team for recommendations.
