Her story is important because it highlights some experiences that many women have but don't get to speak about -- pregnancy after loss, hyperemesis gravidarium, and perinatal and postpartum anxiety and depression. In the end she is living with her dream child, but her road to meet her was not what she envisioned. Thank you Brenna, for your time and sharing...2024-12-0657 minDelivered: A Birth Mini SeriesEpisode Three: Brooke WrightBrooke Wright joins me and shares the birth story of her daughter, Reese, who was born at 29 weeks gestation.

It was so interesting cool to hear the birth story from the lens of a birth worker!

I share in the intro that her episode is ... a lot. She is so openly honest about a lot of different aspects that caused fear within her pregnancy and into birth, and I think it's so important to hear. With that said, I also want to give fair warning to those of you who may be already having some anxiety within their own pregnancies -- all experiences are different and all are valuable!

Both of Suzy's children were born in Switzerland, and she moved there amidst her first pregnancy...talk about huge changes all at once!

I feel the need to add a disclaimer that this is a story that includes an emergent c-section to safely deliver baby Nash.
However, Katie shares so many things that other c-section moms can relate to and women preparing for birth can benefit from -- most importantly, that holding her baby in her arms after it all was STILL the most magical moment in her life.
