Mom Sara Shepherd tells the story of the pregnancy and birth of her son, Oliver. Sara's story is near and dear to us because we have been fortunate to watch her journey over the last few years. Sara is a mom, wife, friend, and middle school math teacher in NJ.
Over a period of weeks Sara experienced a concealed abruption which led to an emergent delivery. In this episode, Sara addresses multiple issues surrounding her pregnancy with Oliver and subsequent pregnancy, including her concerns being brushed off because she was a first time mom and finding support during the height of COVID .
Sara was able to survive her experiences by attending therapy twice a week, attending a local Wave of Light event, reluctantly attending her first support group and realizing it was a good fit, and honoring Oliver's legacy via projects called Ollie Bears linked below and O.N.S. Creations-also linked below.
Thank you Sara, for sharing your story. We are honored to have you in our community.
