About this episode
In today's episode, we welcome Kristy back to share her second birth story. You can hear her fist birth experience in episode 373. After having her first son Kylo, Kristy and her fiancé Clint experienced a miscarriage before conceiving their daughter Ren. At their 20-week scan, they received the news that their baby had Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), meaning she would need open-heart surgery within the first week of life.
Today's episode is proudly brought to Welcome to the First Trimester — an online course that will guide you through these next few months and provide the comfort you need.
