237: Mariela's pregnancy got complicated


Listen Later

There’s really something pretty amazing about giving birth.

 

I mean, you are actually using your body to grow a whole new

human, and then this new person comes into the world, and your whole life
changes. For many people, being pregnant is a time filled with happy
anticipation. You’ve probably heard people talk about this thing called the
“pregnancy glow”, and it’s a real thing.

 

In spite of the discomfort, and nausea, and unusual food

cravings and everything else that sometimes comes with having a baby inside
you, the thought of holding that brand new human in your arms – your child –
that’s often the thing that can help you get through it.

 

Mariela was pregnant. She and her husband, Stephen, were

excited about growing their family.

 

Then, partway through the pregnancy, things got complicated.
