On this week’s episode we hear from our editorial team member, Sarah! Throughout pregnancy, Sarah was monitored very closely for significant ovarian cysts. At her 37 week OB appointment, she was admitted to the hospital due to lack of fluids and Mason was born 24 hours later!

Upon delivery, he was rushed to the NICU because of lack of oxygen and they discovered that his lungs did not inflate and were the size of raisins.  After his lungs had fully developed in size and strength he was able to come after one week in the NICU.

Throughout the episode Sarah shares about what it was like to journey through the NICU as a full-term mom, and some of the misconceptions she has encountered from people regarding her son’s stay. We hope that this episode affirms other full-term mamas with “shorter” stays that your NICU journey is significant, valid and honored.
