Episode 22 | Against the Odds: My Pregnancy & Birth Story With Pre-eclampsia and Clotting Dysfunction with Caitlin White

May 22, 2025 • Episode 22

In this deeply personal episode, Caitlin opens up about heer journey through a high-risk pregnancy marked by pre-eclampsia and a rare blood disorder. From the moment she found out she was pregnant, she never expected the path to be so complicated—or so transformative.

Caitlin shares the emotional highs and medical challenges that came with navigating two serious conditions, the fear and uncertainty that filled each appointment, and the strength she found in moments she never thought she could survive. This is a story about trusting your body, advocating for your care, and holding onto hope even when things feel out of control.

Whether you're walking through a high-risk pregnancy, supporting someone who is, or simply holding space for birth stories in all their complexity, we hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone—and that every story, even the hardest ones, deserves to be heard.
