Send us a textJoin Tara this week as she talks to Mahima Chandrasekar about the powerful love story of the NHS and its neonatal care that is Francesca Segal's phenomenal memoir Mothership. We talk about the alien spaceship world of the NICU, how if we are scared as doctors it must be terrifying as a parent. We think about language, how relatives are horribly diminished is we call them "mum" rather than their real names. We think about camaraderie, support networks, love, compassion, hope and wonder.This is a stunning book. Our first discussion/review was published as a DFTB book review in summer 2021: https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/mother-ship-by-francesca-segal/We had so much more to say about it this time round!!! It is a book full of life, love, hope, fear and one which has undoubtedly changed both our practice significantly and positively forever.Francesca Segal has her own podcast which is all about prematurity and can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mother-ship-a-podcast-about-prematurity/id1500789844
