Klara's calm voice continues, "experience has shown me what can be done to help women in challenging pregnancies. We have many tools at our disposal to support you physically, emotionally, and mentally."

I watch her hands as she unpacks a small notebook. "In addition, I've included exercises for positive mindsets-proven ways to center the mind, keep fears in check, and foster a strong connection with the baby."

"I'm so afraid to have a strong connection with the baby."

"It's actually something I pride myself on. I'm not the biological mother of three of them but they are my children just as much as Abby is. I feel that."

"Yes, this is a choice we make. You will continue to make those choices. Even if this baby is not for this world, you try and you give it your all. That is what gets you through the dark days."

She listens carefully, her expression understanding but resolute. "This is a precious journey, Winona. And as with all difficult journeys, we face challenges."
