Description
We’ve probably all heard it before: When asked whether a parent is hoping their unborn baby is a boy or a girl, they reply sweetly, “all we want is a healthy baby.” To most people this seems like a valiant proclamation of unconditional love and indifference to the baby’s gender. But to parents of medically complex and admittedly very unhealthy babies, it can really pack a punch.
In this solo episode, Madeline unpacks what emotions this often brings up for parents, drawing from her own experience as well as the input from listeners as submitted via Instagram.
