In Today's Episode our host Mon speaks with Emma McGuire about her high risk pregnancy. With bleeding early on in her pregnancy due to a Subchorionic Haematoma Emma found herself in and out of hospital earlier than expected. At 21 weeks Emma's waters broke requiring her to be admitted as in inpatient up until the birth of her very premature baby at 27 weeks. Jack was born into the world via an emergency c-section and stayed in the NICU for a lengthy 102 days before he was brought home. Emma described this time as 'living a double life' which many families with a baby in NICU will understand as she tried to look after her other two young children at home, start her own business, all whilst going into the hospital everyday for hours on end to be there for her baby Jack.
