Episode Synopsis
In this two-part podcast, Katie shares her experience of being 24 weeks pregnant and feeling intense pain. That pain and concern led her to labor and delivery. The birth experience was traumatic, emotional and put Katie into shock. She then delivered Kooper at 24 weeks. This then lead to a long road of having a NICU baby. Katie walks us through the mix of emotions she went through as a NICU mom. The pain, fear, hope, moments of peace. This journey ultimately lead to the loss of Kooper after many ups and downs. Katie explains the feelings only a mom could feel when going through this process. This is a beautiful story that reminds us to hold on tight to our sweet babies. And to allow ourselves to grieve, and to talk about it. Katie and her husband then decided to try and have another baby. Her doctor warned her that she would be a high-risk pregnancy and to prepare for another NICU baby. Part two goes into the journey of healing, and having her second pregnancy. And the guilt she felt having a rainbow baby and still feeling so much grief for Kooper.Katie urges moms to find someone to advocate for you until you can do it for yourself. Get help, speak up! End the stigma. Katie, you are a beautiful person. Thank you for pouring your heart out to us. We love you.
