085 - Ellie | 31 week birth, premature baby, preeclampsia, caesarean birth, NICU, triple-feeding

In today's episode Ellie shares her extraordinary journey into motherhood. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until a few high blood pressure readings in her second trimester, so Ellie was taken by surprise when she was suddenly told she needed to remain in hospital until her baby's birth. She shares the debilitating anxiety she experienced whilst being monitored and waiting day by day to hear when her son would need to be born. At 31 weeks the decision was made for him to arrive by caesarean. Ellie reflects on how grateful she feels for the care they received and how well the team managed the situation, helping to make the experience a positive one despite the circumstances. She also shares about their five weeks in the NICU and the incredible support they had as they learned how to feed and care for their premature baby. Ellie's story is an amazing example of a mother's resilience and strength in the face of uncertainty.   Ellie's IG: https://www.instagram.com/ellieaustinwilliams/  The Birth Prep Bundle: https://sincere-union-68693.myflodesk.com/zkj6c4q686  My website: www.serenalouth.com My IG: https://www.instagram.com/serenalouth/
