“First the world says not to let autism ‘define you.’ Now, all of [a] sudden, when I need help, I have to prove to people that I am autistic.”

❕ Announcement!! ❕

Our favourite travel blogger, Kayla Smith, documents yet another of her travels- this time in Shwersbire, England!

Another thing I noticed, mostly from my second week onwards, is that this town does not, in fact, have much of a nightlife. All the shops are closed and vacated by sundown, and now I even believe I can recall odd looks from locals when I would sit still watching the sunset while everyone else was readying to go home, if not already there.

While most pregnant women return home from the hospital with a newborn baby, Kayla Smith and her husband, James, returned home with a white memory box, a painful reminder of what could have been. "We obviously would rather have our baby than this box," Kayla said, "and it's really sad to leave the hospital without your baby." The couple found out they were pregnant on Mother's Day last year, automatically growing their family to four. Their daughter, Addison, is 2.5 years old. Kayla said everything was going well up until her 20-week anatomy scan. James said the ultrasound sonographer kept going over the baby's heart, and in their own hearts, they knew something was wrong. The baby, who the couple named Brooks, had several fetal anomalies, including serious heart defects. The couple met with a maternal-fetal medicine doctor and pediatric cardiologists. Unfortunately, all of the prognoses were the same. Kayla said Brooks had Critical Aortic Stenosis (CAS) and Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). "Based on what they were saying, it wasn't going to be operable," James said. "So, when we're told it's not operable, no choice is easy going forward." Kayla and James were also worried about preeclampsia, which Kayla developed with Addison. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that can cause high blood pressure and other dangerous complications. The couple said they were faced with a "crap buffet of choices." "We didn't want our son to suffer, and also, I felt like there I was putting myself at risk [since] getting preeclampsia was very likely towards the end of my pregnancy," Kayla said. At 21 weeks, the couple traveled to Washington state to get an early induction of labor. Under Idaho's abortion laws, Kayla could not get that care in state. As of last year, abortions are only legal in cases of rape or incest with a police report or if the pregnant person will die. Kayla isn't the only woman dealing with an impossible situation. Dr. Stacy Seyb, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, said doctors around Idaho are referring people out of state. He said the lack of reproductive options in Idaho hit low-income families the hardest. "Not everybody has the money to pick up and go to another state, spend a few days, maybe even pay cash or money … some places want it upfront," Seyb said.
