EP177 Aoife PT1/2 Two Births, Diagnosis of Life Limiting Condition - Encelphalocele (First Pregnancy), Induction, C-section, Life with Rían

This week I share part one of my chat with @aoifekeogh20 who talks me through her first pregnancy and the birth of her gorgeous boy, Rían. Aoife and her husband received the devastating news that their gorgeous baby had a life limiting condition. It was thought at the time their baby wouldn’t survive to full term but Rían defied the odds and lived for 14 months. 

Aoife revisits receiving the diagnosis and everything that comes with that from scans, conversations, preparation for the unknown and undergoing a C-section which is something she really didn’t want. 

She shares navigating so much more which leads us into part two of her story which will follow next week, pregnancy through grief.

Aoifes story is so hard to hear for so many reasons but I have absolutely no doubt that it will provide many others with comfort.
