Imagine standing at the precipice of life's greatest joy and its most fearful uncertainty, all within the span of a single, heart-stopping hour. This episode is a profound voyage into the soul-stirring story of Nicolette, a seasoned labor and delivery nurse, who faces the ultimate test of her professional knowledge and personal resilience during the birth of her son. As she weaves through the complexities of an unexpected pregnancy and an emotional maelstrom of health scares, her narrative is a striking testament to the power of advocacy, intuition, and the unwavering support of loved ones.
As a listener, you'll journey with Nicolette from the whimsical surprise of pregnancy amid the chaos of a Puerto Rican vacation to the tense moments of managing pregnancy anxieties while bearing the mantle of a nurse.
