About Not Alone in NICU

Navigating the challenging journey of having a baby in neonatal care can feel like an overwhelming emotional rollercoaster. In "Not Alone in NICU," experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist Rebecca Chilvers offers a compassionate and essential guide for parents facing this difficult time. This book acknowledges the common feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, anger, and fear that arise in a new and often bewildering hospital environment, assuring parents that they are not alone in their experience.

Rebecca Chilvers, with over a decade of specialisation in neonatal care, provides practical strategies and emotional support. The book helps parents find ways to cope during the initial bewildering weeks, supports their emotional wellbeing and that of their family, and guides them through forming a relationship with their premature or sick baby. It also addresses complex decision-making, involvement in their baby's care, and specific challenges related to long-term or life-limiting conditions. Packed with over 50 tailored exercises, parent stories, and key guidance, this resource prepares families for the transition home and helps them process their unique journey in neonatal intensive care.
