The Story of How Nicu Mamahood Came to be

Jes Wagner’s son Liam was born at 28 weeks gestation. After a month of modified bed rest, Liam was too eager to greet his mom and dad.
Jes journaled throughout her son’s NICU stay. The moments her heart broke, she wrote it down. Jes’ husband encouraged her to put it all together into a book and with the help of her mom, that’s just what she did.

During Liam’s NICU stay Jes discovered that Instagram had a lot of really good community for NICU moms and she wanted to build her own both to connect with other NICU moms and also to promote her book. Hence, NicuMamahood social media was made.
“It’s been a beautiful journey of self discovery and finding out how much I’m actually capable of handling. Being a NICU mama was never part of my plan for motherhood, but here I am, PTSD and all,” says Jes.
Jes made many designs for her social media accounts and thought, “maybe I could try to sell them!”
Each purchase helps support her, her family and her dreams. Jes currently is a stay at home mom but is looking for part time work to help pay the bills.
“Nicu Mamahood has been a way for me to find my own healing. Through my writings and the community I’ve been building, it’s been incredible how helpful they’ve been. My hope is that it will be bring hope and community to those that follow my journey.”
