S6 E17 | Preterm Labour and Knowing You Aren’t Alone with Kate Morgan

She talks about the anxiety-inducing 20-week anatomy scan, where she felt a sense of loss. The poor treatment the doctor gave her only added to her distress.  She vividly describes the night before, when her son fell ill, and the subsequent realisation that something was terribly wrong. She walks through the amniocentesis, contractions, and the birth of her daughter. Kate opens up about the challenges of losing a baby and witnessing her loved ones endure the same pain. She emphasises the therapeutic power of getting outside, sharing stories, and self-advocacy.
