Her pregnancy had been straightforward and included doing all standard testing offered, but a noted anomaly of a small baby was quickly followed by referral to fetal medicine specialists, the discovery of soft markers on ultrasound and, after an amniocentesis, the words that would tip their world on its axis. Alice talks with Kara about the heartbreaking moment that baby Marley was diagnosed and the impossi... | 1h 05m 42s | ||||||
