AFE? HELLP?: An Uncertain Diagnosis with ICU & NICU Stay feat. Julia

On this week's Listener Series, we welcome Julia. Julia was induced at 38 weeks due to gestational hypertension. A routine delivery turned terrifying, when Julia suddenly became unresponsive. What followed was a litany of complications landing Julia and her baby in the ICU and NICU, and still to this day with an uncertain diagnosis. She shares with us the process of bringing home a NICU baby after a significant trauma and what her healing journey has been like.

On this episode, you will hear:
- labor complications and emergency response
- NICU experience and family dynamics
- second opinions and diagnosis
- navigating an ICU experience
- bonding journey after ICU and NICU experience
- the stress of bringing home a NICU baby
