170 Days: The fight to bring Baby Austin home

Pregnancy is already a time of mixed emotions, nerves, and trepidation, but what happens when your baby comes dangerously early? That's what happened for Abby Rawls and her baby Austin. Austin was born at just 25 weeks, and what followed was a harrowing 170 days in Christchurch's NICU.  In the episode Toni and Abby chat about Abby's experience practically living in the NICU for almost 6 months, the pain, fear, and surprise of having a baby born so early. *This episode is brought to you by the Māia Health Foundation.
