À propos de cet audio
Dad Max and neonatologist Dr. Matt Buckingham join Maggie & Sarah today. Max and his partner Mathilde were anticipating a beautiful home birth, like the one they experienced with their older son, Diego.
Their world was turned upside down when Manaia arrived early weighing 620g. Max tells the powerful story of their 167-day stay in Christchurch NICU, and his experiences as a Dad trying to make sense of a world he knew nothing about and "where nothing is normal".
He talks about the rollercoaster of emotions he felt, from fear to pride; as well as the impact of not having control of what is happening; reclaiming stolen moments; and the importance of making more space for families to parent together in the unit.
Ngā mihi nui Max, Mathilde, Diego and Manaia for sharing your journey with us.
