My Baby Has Potter's Syndrome with Shawna Rauch
Manage episode 363593230 series 3336025
Shawna Rauch vulnerably shares her experience of her pregnancy of her baby with Potter's Syndrome. This is an encouragement to all moms who just found out your baby has Potter's Syndrome or you have a friend who has a baby with Potter's Syndrome.
Potter's Syndrome is a rare disorder where the kidneys fail to develop properly as the baby is growing in the womb. The kidneys normally produce the amniotic fluid (as urine). With lack of kidneys and amniotic fluid, this condition is life-threatening for the baby and many infants have a short life expectancy.
Shawna Rauch takes us on her journey of her pregnancy and birth of her precious baby with Potter's Syndrome. She delivers hope and guidance for what can you expect if you receive the same diagnosis.
Shawna Rauch is a committed wife and mother of three. When she received the devastating news that her first baby had Potter's Syndrome, a condition incompatible with life. She was frustrated by the lack of personal stories and confusing medical jargon online. Determined to fill the need, she created HopeAngel.org just 13 days after her daughter was born, which has since touched the lives of thousands of families around the world.
As a pregnancy and grief coach, Shawna's goal is to support, inform and empower mothers through their pregnancy, birth, and beyond. She has created a community where mothers can talk through their experiences and provide emotional support to one another during times of loss and grief.
