TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains content relating to high risk pregnancy and birth trauma This episode is slightly different, the tables are turned on me, your host, in an effort to put my money where my mouth is and share the same level of vulnerability as my guests. In fact, it's the first time i have shared some of the finer details of our pregnancy and birth out loud so excuse the rawness. At 19 weeks pregnant, our whole world was flipped upside down when we found out that our growing baby had a condition called Micrognathia...and there was a risk he would not make it. The journey that followed was one of ups and downs, neverending hospital visits, changing diagnosis's and lots of tears. Fast forward to today and we are blessed to have a thriving 8 month old boy with a condition called Pierre Robin Sequence. Although we've still got a long road ahead, we are one of the lucky ones who gets to navigate it with a beautiful little man in our arms. A big thank you to the lovely @mikhailla for being the interviewer - you can hear more from her in season 1 and 2.
