Ep. 47: Advocacy & Support After Infertility, Loss, HELLP & 2x NICU Stay

On this episode, Ebony Ford joins us and shares her journey through infertility, loss, and birth trauma. While pregnant, Ebony was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome which put her in acute liver and kidney failure. Her traumatic, near death birth story and her daughter's NICU journey birthed a passion for advocacy and mentoring. Kayleigh and Ebony discuss the importance of advocacy and support plans especially when considering a subsequent pregnancy and delivery after birth trauma, like Ebony experienced with her son.  You can find Ebony Ford on Instagram: @andweshallreignEbony Ford is a 32 year old Washington DC native.
