Dr. Laura:
You saved my daughter's life.
I was seven months pregnant when I woke up one day and did not feel my daughter move, which was strange because she was usually very active in the mornings. I had an important deadline at work, so I went about my routine and headed to the office.
Halfway there, your words rang in my head. I've heard you say that an employer can replace you in a matter of days, but your child will always need you. I immediately turned the car around and went straight to my doctor. After a series of tests and ultrasounds, it was determined that my daughter needed to be delivered immediately. She spent a few weeks in the NICU but is now a happy and healthy 8-month-old. The doctors agree that it would be a different story if I hadn't skipped work and gotten checked out that morning.
Somehow, someone else met that "important" deadline at work, but my life was forever changed that day.
I am now proud to say "I am my kid's Mom!" Thank you.
Louise
