S2E8: Megan Norbury - Two-time NICU Mum and Miracle Babies Facilitator

We start this episode with a Trigger warning, as there are discussions of loss and miscarriage. 

Today, we meet two-time NICU mum, Megan Norbury — a proud NICU parent who has turned her lived experience into a mission to support other families on their own NICU journeys.

With a background in early childhood education, Megan knows first-hand the feelings of isolation that can come with life in the NICU. Those experiences sparked her passion to help others, leading her to join Miracle Babies Foundation as a facilitator and Team Leader of Nurture Time and Nurture Groups. Ten years on, she’s still making a difference for families experiencing the NICU.

In this insightful conversation, we talk about the vital role dads play in the NICU — how they can best support mums, and what families really need during such an intense time. Megan also shares more about the incredible work Miracle Babies does, from peer support programs to national advocacy for issues like paid parental leave and funding for extended NICU care.

Megan talks with such empathy and wisdom, discussing her lived experiences and providing many practical takeaways for anyone currently on a NICU journey — or a family member or friend supporting someone who is on a NICU journey.
