LeeAnn’s Story
LeeAnn tells her story on this week's episode. She shares her journey through infertility issues, to getting diagnosed at 28 week's with pre-eclampsia. Her situation went from confusion to scary very fast. LeeAnn was rushed to a specialty hospital to deliver her sweet 2 lb 3 oz baby, Kamry. She shares her journey of delivering a very pre-term baby and what life was like for their 10 week stay in the NICU.
According to the WHO, 15 million babies are born pre-term every year. That is 1 in 10 babies. LeeAnn's delivery was considered a "very preterm" baby.
The subcategories are:
• Extremely preterm (less than 28 weeks)
• Very preterm (28-32 weeks)
• moderate to late preterm (32-37 weeks)
Knowing the signs and symptoms of seeing pre-eclampsia in your loved one might just save their life!

Jordan’s Story
Our guest today is Kelsey's cousin, Jordan. Jordan tells us her story of battling miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. Then eventually giving birth to her two beautiful boys.
Listening to Jordan tell her story was inspiring. Her story is one of hope, and we hope that it finds the person who needs to hear it, because 1 in every 3 women experience a miscarriage. I think this episode is such an important one because if you haven't gone through a miscarriage, statistically you know someone who has.
In 2018, Jordan was very brave by being vulnerable and sharing about her miscarriages when they happened. She shared at a time when miscarriage was a taboo subject to talk about. You can find her blog posts that she has written @

On her website there is a section called "You Are Not Alone". There you can find other stories of women who have suffered miscarriages.
A quote that we love and often say is, "we are all just walking each other home" - Ram Dass. We truly believe that, and that is the reason for this podcast. We hope that you enjoy this episode.
