257: Not What I Had in Mind: Crash Landing into Motherhood, Delivering Twins at 22 Weeks, & Finding Strength in Trauma, with Author Laura Diaz Freeland
Ever had something not go to plan? Laura Diaz Freeland has, too.
Laura is the author of the upcoming motherhood origin story, Not What I Had in Mind, as well as a writer and advocate for periviable babies, and she’s here to talk all about the curve balls motherhood (and life) can throw at you.
When she went into labor at just over 22 weeks, Laura’s world changed in an instant.
Welcoming very premature twins wasn’t how she envisioned stepping into motherhood.
Over 200 days in the NICU later--and a rollercoaster of emotions to go with it--Laura walks readers through the world of the premature parent, and how she found strength in her struggle.
We talk:
+ What it was like going into labor at 22 weeks
+ How grief can look
+ How trauma can shape your belief in God
+ “The messy middle”
+ Advice for parents of premature babies
+ The supplements she gave her twins to boost their gut health
...and much more!
