In this Part 2 of their birth story, Nicky and Matt share about the end of their pregnancy, the birth and the postpartum period, along with what it was like to work with a (virtual) doula and an IBCLC.
In the 36th week of pregnancy Nicky was diagnosed with gestational hypertension that quickly progressed into pre-eclampsia. From an induction, to jaundice, to the NICU, to breastfeeding struggles, Nicky and Matt share the good, the bad, and everything in-between.
In addition, Nicky and Matt share where they are emotionally following the birth and Lucy’s diagnosis, how Lucy is doing now, and the joys and struggles of being new parents.
Once again, thank you to Nicky and Matt for sharing your story with the Having a Baby in China Podcast.

In this Part 1 of their story, Nicky and Matt share their experience receiving a devastating diagnosis during the second trimester of their pregnancy. Their much-desired daughter, Lucy, has Trisomy-9, a chromosomal disorder that is often incompatible with life. Language barriers, Nicky’s rare blood type, and many other factors complicate their journey. We are so thankful to Nicky and Matt for sharing their story with our listeners.
While their story has a positive ending, in the interview we discuss the topics of miscarriage, the rhogram shot, abortion, and amniocentesis, as these are real issues and considerations they had to face along the way. If you find any of these topics emotionally triggering, we encourage you to put a pause on the episode and come back at another time. In addition, you may consider reaching out to a licensed counselor.
Listen to Part 1 of their story this week, then come back next week for Part 2! Featuring an induction, working with a doula and IBCLC, their breastfeeding/pumping journey, and an update on how their beautiful daughter Lucy is today!
