Episode Details

In this powerful episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn welcomes Paula Yost — attorney, therapist, mother, and author — who shares her courageous journey through pregnancy trauma.

Paula recounts the terrifying experience of delivering her son prematurely at 27 weeks due to acute preeclampsia, navigating a lengthy NICU stay, and healing from the emotional aftermath. She emphasizes the critical lack of education around preeclampsia and the lasting impact of birth trauma.

Now a thriving ten-year-old, her son stands as living proof that hope and resilience can emerge from even the darkest moments.
