11. A Postpartum Journey With Her Miracle Baby: Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, and Adrenocortical Carcinoma – Lauren Hiddleson

Lauren found out that she had LFS just days before finding out that she was pregnant with her daughter Josie.  After a planned home birth turned hospital induction due to IUGR, she describes her early weeks postpartum, including latch issues with her tiny baby, trying to get fasting blood sugar readings, and her own hospital visits for high blood pressure and retained placenta.  At 5 months postpartum, she found out that her daughter also had LFS, as well as Turner Syndrome, and already had cancer.  She describes her daughter’s treatment journey through the first 17 months of her life.
