Description

In today's episode we hear part 2 (of 3) of Amy's story--she talks about her induction and her experience becoming the parent of a baby with a significant heart condition, the operation that saved his life, and tips for parents who might find themselves the new minders of a fetus with a congenital heart defect. 

I also include the insights of a doctor who performs fetal cardiac ultrasound to understand that technology better. 

And the last thing I'll add in the interest of transparency, is that like Amy, my partner and I had a child with a significant congenital heart defect that required emergency surgery when she was born, so a lot of what she says really resonates with my experience. 

We pick up where we left off last week. Amy is learning about her future son's congenital heart defect from her doctor.
