She tells her story of surviving postpartum septic shock
Jan 10, 2024 Season 1 Episode 75

Alyssa Nilsen shares how what started as a perfect delivery of her baby girl, turned into a body infection where her heart started failing. She talks about what it was like to have to say goodbye to her newborn in the hospital and be life-flighted to another hospital. She was told that she most likely wouldn't survive the surgery that they needed to do. She woke up the next week to a hysterectomy, a thick scar on her abdomen, pneumonia, and more pain from the events her body had gone through. We talk about what her recovery journey has been like with not only physical therapy, but checking on her mental health. Alyssa has a podcast with her husband as well called "Love, The Nilsen's." She talks about how her family gave her strength to endure this big trial.
