Summary

Hannah welcomed her son, Oleander, in February. After an uncomplicated pregnancy and mostly straightforward birth, she experienced several postpartum issues which required multiple hospitalizations and ultimately she underwent an emergency hysterectomy. This was caused by a life threatening infection called group A streptococcus.

In sharing her story, I don’t want to frighten you. I want you to be aware. Knowledge is power. That’s what this podcast, and all my work actually, is about - empowering you with knowledge.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

-What it was like trying to conceive while working in the ICU during Covid

-How a struggle with not one but two epidurals resulted in Hannah giving birth without pain medication

-Why it’s so important to trust yourself if you feel like something isn’t right

-Which symptoms Hannah had when her OB suggested she go to the hospital

-What is group A streptococcus and how serious is it

-Why Hannah had to have an emergency hysterectomy

-Which signs indicated that Hannah had pancreatitis and how it was treated
