275. Sterling Part 1

<p dir="ltr">In this deeply personal episode, I will share the heartbreaking journey of my son Sterling's life and passing. From a perfect pregnancy to the shock of his sudden death, I recount the red flags and concerns that were overlooked. It was later discovered that Sterling contracted Group B strep, leading to pneumonia and sepsis. Through my story, I aim to raise awareness about this condition and encourage expectant mothers to trust their instincts and advocate for their health. I express gratitude for the support received and emphasize the importance of compassionate support for those grieving. Despite the pain, I hold onto the belief that Sterling's story is not over and that his memory can make a difference in preventing such tragic losses. Let's come together to promote Group B strep awareness and protect our little ones from preventable harm.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">“I hope more than anything, that this just helps people to have awareness so that they can prevent this from happening, because it doesn't need to happen. And so I just want to leave you with that.”</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The first night with the baby</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">It's not about having the right words, it's about showing them</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">What Is Group B strep?</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with me:<br /> Email: <a href= "mailto:behealthywithjoy@gmail.com">behealthywithjoy@gmail.com</a> / <a href="mailto:joy@levelupbabe.com">joy@levelupbabe.com<br /> </a>Website: <a href= "http://level-up-babe.mykajabi.com/">level-up-babe.mykajabi.com<br /> </a>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/joyharrington.ig/">@joyharrington.ig</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/levelupbabe.ig/">@levelupbabe.ig<br /> </a>Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/joy.harrington.94">Joy Harringto
