As a mom of two, stories like this hit me right in the heart. I just read about a woman named Lauren, and I haven't stopped thinking about her journey since.
At her 20-week ultrasound, what was supposed to be a routine appointment turned into something completely life-altering. She was diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum, a serious and rare condition that put her life, and her baby's, at risk. I can't even imagine how terrifying that must've been.
But the care she received at Atrium Health Women's Care was nothing short of amazing. They created a plan, guided her through every step, and helped her safely deliver her baby girl. Lauren calls her daughter her "percreta princess". How sweet is that?
And what's even more incredible? That experience inspired her to change careers. She left her job as a patent attorney, became a certified doula, and is now on the path to medical school. Talk about turning pain into purpose.
Pregnancy can be such a vulnerable time. I know it was for me. This story reminded me just how much having the right care and support matters.
✨ If you have a few minutes, please read Lauren's full story. It's real, and truly inspiring. Whether you're a mom, expecting, or just care about women's health. This one will stick with you.
