Maria Forde’s journey through motherhood has been a sequence of stretches that have tested her and offered her some of the greatest loves of her life. 

We are talking about:

• severe hyperemesis
• A very rare condition leading to emergency airways surgery.
• An emergency section.
• A newborn in nicu with a collapsed lung- an injury occured during birth 
• Meningitis. 
• Her uterus at risk of rupture. 
• Miscarriage

And this all in the last 5 years while also showing up, living life, working, mothering, coping with whatever life throws next - all the while deeply grateful with a resounding, “I'd do it all again for the children I am so fortunate to have” 

Women are incredible! This story of immense stretch is proof alone of that.
