Madeline joins Dr. Zimmermannn on the podcast to discuss her preterm delivery at 25 weeks, her NICU journey, and ultimate diagnosis of "incompetent cervix". She is on a mission to change medical language from "incompetent cervix" to "early cervical opening" - removing the language of guilt on the mother.
Dr. Zimmermann talks about how medical terminology has historically placed blame and shame on women through their medical diagnoses.
We finish my conversation with Gretchen, talking about her son Alex who was born weighing 580g at 23 weeks.
Listening to birth stories is a way to feel empowered for your own birth, as well as to heal from a traumatic birth. Gretchen talks about her emergent delivery by C-section of her son Alex, born at 23 weeks.
