Next Episode: Kamille Part 2 | Pregnancy After NICU & Luuk's Story

This week’s podcast episode is Part 1 of Kamille’s motherhood journey with her son, Owen! At 20 weeks, Owen was diagnosed with CDH. Throughout her pregnancy, she was closely monitored until his arrival at 38 weeks. Four days after delivery, Owen underwent surgery to repair his diaphragm and move his stomach and intestines out his chest, and he spent a total of 23 days in the NICU! Owen is a thriving 3 year old and big brother to Luuk, who we will get to hear more about in part 2.

Our hope is that the mamas in our community who are either coming to terms with a new diagnosis or navigating a high-risk pregnancy would feel seen, heard, and validated through that episode. You are never ever alone!
