Receiving a Critical Diagnosis in Utero with Ashley Stone

Ashley showed up for her 20 week anatomy scan ultrasound just like any other mom - excited to see her sweet baby on the screen and to walk away with some photos to show off to family and friends. But her excitement was quickly disrupted with an in utero diagnosis. Ashley's daughter presented with a heart defect formally known as Tetraology of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia. This led to many moments of panic, anxiety, and worry, referral to follow-up visits with specialists, big decisions, and a completely different pregnancy and delivery experience than Ashley ever imagined for herself. In this podcast, we dive into the importance of advocating for yourself or your child any time a diagnosis is received, strategies for handling unexpected diagnosis, and navigating parenthood when your child has a diagnosis. You won't want to miss hearing Ashley's story and I know, as moms, we need the reminder to relinquish control sometimes...to let go of expectations...and to live without letting our challenges define us. Support the showLet's connect on social media!
