In today’s episode I’m speaking with LT Samantha Mclaughlin, who’s Active Duty. LT Mclaughlin shares the birth story of her daughter who was born just shy of 33 weeks, after her water broke at 31 weeks. At the time, Samantha was working as a Labor & Delivery Nurse in 29 Palms, but because there was no NICU there they had to be transferred to another local hospital about 45 minutes away. Samantha stayed as a patient for 2 weeks until giving birth via C-Section, and then her daughter stayed in the NICU for 21 days before being discharged. Samantha talks about how her medical knowledge impacted her experience, navigating the totally unexpected way that her birth and postpartum period went, and what it was like having to return to work.
