So much fun at the McDonough Moms Gift Exchange Gala ✨
A night of elegance, laughter, connection, and dancing my heart out (one of my favorite things—right after sleeping and eating 😂).

I was tired at first like most moms, but I’m so glad I went and did something just for me. I met new women, enjoyed beautiful energy, and received the sweetest gift—a plush blanket with scripture reminding me of what God says about me.

Grateful for nights like this and looking forward to connecting with more women in 2026 💛

✨ It’s Friday, and here’s your gentle reminder: it’s okay to have a little fun, love on yourself, and enjoy this life God has given you.

For so long, I’ve poured myself into work, motherhood, and marriage… and somewhere along the way, fun Jess didn’t get much airtime. But when I saw Brandy & Monica were going on tour — with Kelly Rowland headlining — I knew I needed to be in the building.

This year, I promised myself I would be intentional about reconnecting with other women and reclaiming the parts of me that love joy, music, laughter, and just being.
Because the truth is: I am fun. I like to have fun. I’m no drama. And I bring a good aura — on purpose.

My kids helped pick my outfit (they had opinions 😅), I did my own hair, and blessed me with this beat. Even had a wardrobe malfunction on the way out the door — and instead of breaking down, I maneuvered.
That’s growth.

And y’all… I had a BLAST.
Good music + good energy + the 3 F’s: Food, Fun, and Fellowship.
My heart is full. I’m grateful. 💕

✨ It’s Giving Tuesday — and NICU families need us. ✨

Today is a global reminder that generosity can change someone’s entire journey. And for families in the NICU, support isn’t just meaningful — it’s lifeline-level.

If you’re looking for ways to make an impact this Giving Tuesday, consider supporting organizations that show up for NICU parents every single day:

💛 Hand to Hold — emotional support, peer mentorship, and mental health resources
💛 March of Dimes — research, advocacy, and family support for premature babies
💛 NICU Today — education, awareness, and community for NICU families
💛 Project NICU — care packages, parent support, and nationwide NICU outreach
💛 (Add any local orgs you love!)

These organizations help families feel seen, supported, and less alone in one of the hardest seasons of their lives.

And if you want to personally give the gift of hope…

I’ve extended the sale on my NICU devotional, Anchored In Hope, and it will remain $15.99 through December 5.
📖 This devotional was created to lift NICU parents through the fear, the waiting, the grief, the gratitude, and everything in between.

If you know a NICU mom or dad who could use encouragement right now, you can gift them a copy directly from the link in my bio.

Because hope is also something we can give.

I dreamed of the NICU long before I understood its weight—
before the beeps became a language,
before hope sounded like the rise and fall of a preemie’s breath.

I thought I’d enter the NICU only as a physician.
I never imagined I’d enter as a mother—
with shaking hands, a racing heart, and prayers tucked between every monitor sound.

No textbook prepared me for the silence of a mother’s tears,
the ache of leaving your baby behind glass,
or how gratitude and grief walk side by side.

The NICU taught me two languages—
the medical one I trained for and the emotional one I lived.
And when we finally came home, I learned the NICU comes with you— in the way you listen to every breath
and hold your baby with both relief and remembering.

I stand on both sides now:
NICU pediatrician and NICU mom,
clinician and survivor—
forever changed by what those walls taught me.

And because of that, I made a promise:
to help reshape the NICU experience—
through better communication, less bias,
and deeper compassion for families living in the space between hope and heartbreak.

This is my story.
This is my offering.
For every parent sitting under fluorescent lights, holding courage hour by hour—
you are seen,
you are loved,
you are not alone.💚

Today, on Thanksgiving, my heart is holding two truths at the same time.

To every parent spending this holiday separated from their baby in the NICU… to every family navigating grief, uncertainty, or a hard chapter… I see you.

Holidays can magnify the ache. The empty seat. The quiet crib. The “this wasn’t supposed to be our story.”

And yet—standing in my own home today, surrounded by my family—I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

Gratitude for the journey that shaped me. Gratitude for the babies and families who have trusted me.
Gratitude for the strength that rises even in the storm.
Gratitude that joy and pain can coexist, and that we can honor both.

If today feels heavy, please know this:
Your feelings are valid.
Your love is real.
Your story is not forgotten.
And you don’t have to pretend everything is okay just because it’s a holiday.

I’m holding space for your heartbreak and your hope.
I’m honoring the families spending Thanksgiving at the hospital.
I’m honoring those missing someone they love.
And I’m giving thanks for the resilience of our community—because we carry each other through days like this.

Wherever you are today, may you feel warmth, may you feel seen, and may you feel supported. 💛

Happy Thanksgiving.

— Dr. Jess

Waiting for your baby to grow, mature, and come home is one of the hardest parts of the NICU journey.

Here are 5 REAL things you can do to help yourself and your baby while you wait. 💜

Which one do you want me to expand on next?
what would you add?

Georgia just received an “F” on the 2025 March of Dimes Prematurity Report Card.
Preterm birth rate: 11.8%.
Black babies: 1.5 times more likely to be born preterm.

And I need us to sit with this for a moment, because these numbers don’t exist in isolation.

Black neonatal health will never improve without Black maternal health.
You cannot separate the two.
A preterm baby is a maternal health outcome.

And until we are willing to see the people behind these problems — not just charts, not just grades, not just rates — this is exactly the report card we will continue to see year after year.

We cannot keep talking about disparities as if they are abstract.
They are lived realities. They are preventable. They are happening under the care of actual systems and actual providers.

If we don’t:

🔹 Hold healthcare professionals accountable
🔹 Hold hospital systems accountable
🔹 Improve respectful, equitable, trauma-informed care
🔹 Address bias, dismissal, and obstetric violence
🔹 Improve the lived experiences of Black birthing people and Black families
🔹 Support families long before and long after a NICU stay

…then these numbers will not move.

Because inequity doesn’t disappear on its own. It is either addressed or it is reproduced.

I shared this at Once Upon A Preemie today, and I’ll say it again:
We cannot claim to care about neonatal equity while ignoring maternal equity.
We cannot focus on preemies without protecting the people who carry them.

If Black women are not safe, Black babies cannot be safe.
And if we don’t change the culture of care, the report card will stay the same.

It’s not just policy.
It’s not just data.
It’s humanity. And we have to start acting like it.

Today is World Prematurity Day.💜

We wear purple to honor the babies and families whose stories begin sooner than expected—
to recognize the miracles they are and the challenges they often face medically, socially, financially, and culturally.

As I speak today on Black maternal health and neonatal care, I’m carrying my own babies with me:
my son Isaiah, born at 19 weeks;
my son Liam, born at 31 weeks;
and my daughter Avery, born at 36 weeks.

They are the reason I show up the way I do.
They are why this work is not just professional for me—it’s deeply personal.
Because behind every statistic is a story, a family, a heartbeat that matters.

So today, wear your purple with purpose.

Wear it to recognize that prematurity is both a miracle and a public health crisis.
Wear it for the babies who fought, the babies who are still fighting, and the babies who were loved every second they were here.

The crisis in maternal and neonatal care doesn’t start in the delivery room. It starts the moment we stop seeing the person in front of us.

She was a 16-year-old Black mother. Before I even walked into her room, I heard:
“She keeps pulling the covers over her head.”
“She’s not feeding the baby.”

In a fast-paced unit, that gets labeled as “noncompliant.”
In a biased system, it becomes “she doesn’t care.”

And if I wasn’t intentional, I could have walked in carrying those same assumptions.

But compassion requires a pause. Equity requires one too.

I sat down beside her and said, “Hi, I’m Dr. Daigle, the pediatrician caring for your baby. Tell me what’s going on. How can I help?”

Everything shifted.

She shared her fears, her home situation, and her struggle with depression. She wasn’t disengaged — she was overwhelmed, scared, and unsure if anyone wanted to listen.

We made a plan together.
She let me involve social work and her OB team.
She fed her baby with more confidence.
And she went home in better spirits than she arrived.

Before I left that day, she hugged me and said, “Thank you for seeing me.”

This is what compassion does.
It reframes the moment.
It restores dignity.
It changes outcomes.

And this is what equity looks like — not the absence of bias, but the presence of intentional humanity.

As clinicians, we’re trained to handle crisis. But true healing starts long before the crisis does. It starts with presence, humility, and the willingness to question our assumptions.

Healing starts here — within us.

I’m excited to share more about this at the 4th Annual Black Maternal Health & Neonatal Equity Conference with Once Upon A Preemie.

Will I see you there?

Registration ends November 14.💜
