Nina shares 3 c-section birth stories. Each one was different: One with restricted growth and a blood type incompatibility scare, a second attempted VBAC with a CMV diagnosis, and a final successful pregnancy (well deserved after the first 2 adventures!). All of this takes place in Ecuador and involves adventures in finding tests and drugs that are temporarily unavailable in the country as well as going to the US for consultations. She talks about how her father’s passing was instrumental in her decision to have children and how being a working mom motivates her to be the best mother she can be.
