Katie's path to motherhood is fraught with heartache and hope, from the devastating loss of her first pregnancy at 16.5 weeks to enduring four more miscarriages before successfully carrying her daughter, Fiona. She shares the emotional turmoil of each loss and the daunting task of finding the right OB-GYN in Maine, shedding light on the importance of patient advocacy and support in navigating high-risk pregnancies. Her story is a testament to the strength and perseverance required to face such trials and emerge with a family of four children.

Katie discusses the psychological hurdles of surpassing previous loss milestones, the pressures of medical interventions, and the surprise of a naturally onset labor despite planned inductions. Her candid recollections of labor pains on Pitocin, the challenges of birthing plans, and the joy of finally holding her newborns highlight the raw and transformative experience of childbirth. 

Join me in celebrating Katie's journey and the lessons she imparts on finding strength and support in the face of adversity.
