275. Sterling Part 1
Manage episode 371531789 series 2913672
In this deeply personal episode, I will share the heartbreaking journey of my son Sterling's life and passing. From a perfect pregnancy to the shock of his sudden death, I recount the red flags and concerns that were overlooked. It was later discovered that Sterling contracted Group B strep, leading to pneumonia and sepsis. Through my story, I aim to raise awareness about this condition and encourage expectant mothers to trust their instincts and advocate for their health. I express gratitude for the support received and emphasize the importance of compassionate support for those grieving. Despite the pain, I hold onto the belief that Sterling's story is not over and that his memory can make a difference in preventing such tragic losses. Let's come together to promote Group B strep awareness and protect our little ones from preventable harm.
“I hope more than anything, that this just helps people to have awareness so that they can prevent this from happening, because it doesn't need to happen. And so I just want to leave you with that.”
The first night with the baby
It's not about having the right words, it's about showing them
