Preterm Birth Story Due to Mirror Syndrome

Preterm Birth Story Due to Mirror Syndrome

Author: Liesel Teen May 9, 2022 Duration: 35:48

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, fellow mom Payton Bridges came on the show to share her incredible birth story.

In the episode, you'll hear her tell that story about how they tried to keep her growing as long as possible, but that she ended up having an emergent C-section at 26 weeks after lots of ups and downs. 

She explained how when she was going through this she did what we all do, and went to Google to look at statistics and other stories. But it was SO difficult to find positive information on Mirror Syndrome and positive outcomes.
