In this episode of the birthwell podcast, Laura shares her trimester three update, detailing her experiences and uncertainty during the last chapter of her pregnancy. The conversation covers the transition from a relatively smooth end of the second trimester where her vasa previa had cleared, to a return of vasa previa at an early trimester three ultrasound. Laura discusses the emotional toll of the re-diagnosis and how this impacted her decision to go off work early due to the amount of uncertainty she experienced. In this conversation, Laura shares her decision to keep the diagnosis private and how she is preparing for a scheduled c-section. Laura also reflects on her experiences with the fresh test to test for gestational diabetes, which she was able to do through her midwives. She also provides an update on some of her trimester three symptoms, and her thoughts on the sex of the baby. The conversation concludes with a promise to update listeners on her birth story in season 3.
