Season 2 | Episode 9: Kristina: "We're going to call your baby...'Baby'" - Removing the Stigma from CAH

In this touching episode, Stephanie and Dina speak to Kristina, a young mom to 2 little girls who's younger daughter lives with salt wasting CAH. Kristina recalls her journey from giving birth to Franny through her now fifteen months of life, including feeding routines, hospital visits, medication and explaining her condition to family, day care and friends. Unsurprisingly, the day Franny was born, Kristina was told "something is wrong with your baby, your baby has ambiguous genitalia". Grappling with not knowing what that could have meant, Kristina simply replied, "is my baby going be alright?" and "is she going to live?" Due to the all too familiar lack of knowledge and professionalism on the hospital's behalf, Kristina was left alone, terrified, contemplating her new life with a baby she had yet to meet.

Kristina's story also includes the hospital's suggestion to not add "female" to Franny's birth certificate, a NICU doctor who would only identify Franny as the "baby" and Kristina's subsequent overwhelming feeling of disappointment and fright for what the future held for her family...especially her brand new baby girl Franny.

With Stephanie's and Dina's wisdom and experience, the three women embark on a voyage to squash the stigma attached to CAH with the goal to give Franny and other children and adults living with CAH a healthy life free of stress, judgement and grief.
