Meet the Founders: Sara Doutre

Author: Sara Doutre In July 2010, we found out we were expecting our second baby. Because of a liver complication and an unscheduled c-section with our son Liam in 2009, I sought out a specialist in high-risk pregnancies.

I took the recommended amounts of folic acid to prevent spina bifida. I participated in the recommended screenings for other markers of birth defects. I read every pamphlet provided to me by the doctors office.

She kicks her legs, almost in a marching motion, and glances occasionally at her TV, which is broadcasting an international soccer match.

Author: Farah Armstrong When I think back to the moment I first heard about Cytomegalovirus, I still get chills down my spine.

I was still recovering from the delivery when the neonatologist came into the room to report the worst news I have received in my lifetime.
