About this episode
Mollie shares her journey as the mother of Nash, the world's most premature baby, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of their experience.
In this powerful and hope-filled episode, I sit down with Mollie, the mom of Nash, who was born at just 21 weeks and 0 days gestation, weighing only 10 ounces — making him the world’s most premature baby. This episode blew me away because this means my micropreemies, who were born at 1.5 pounds, were THREE TIMES BIGGER than Nash - mind blown.Mollie shares about what it was like going into pregnancy so early, specifically following a devastating loss at 18 weeks gestation of her daughter. When Nash was born, his eyes were fused shut, he could not breathe on his own, and his skin was so underdeveloped, he could hardly be touched....but after nearly 200 days in NICU, Nash got to go home and is now a thriving 1.5 year old...who just happens to hold the very special honor of Guinness Book of World Records Most Premature Baby.
