Woman Had A Baby, But Then Contractions Kicked In Seven Weeks Later
Fertility troubles can be a hard grind: just ask Sarah LaFleur. It took years of fighting to get pregnant, and stay pregnant. But finally, she had the baby she had wanted so much. Yet seven weeks after her little one entered the world, she felt the trauma of birth all over again…
Hard worker
Not that Sarah is a stranger to hard work: she loves it. Yes, not content with one career path, she swapped a career as a high flier for a second work chapter in the fashion industry. Her husband, Chris Schonberger may not have such a recognizable face, but he too is a successful entrepreneur, creating and producing web shows watched by millions.
Struggles ahead
Still, having a baby was, as we noted, an uphill struggle. Sarah had to fit tons of meetings with doctors into her busy days. Add to this ups and downs with her weight and the problems of clothing a body that regularly changed shape; it all proved tough work for the entrepreneuse. On top of that, she had to overcome an extremely rare condition that made having a child at all unlikely.
Successful company
The company that Sarah started, M.M.LaFleur, grew out of her fury at her wardrobe. She felt she didn’t have anything good to work in, viewing herself as at the mercy of ill-fitting and poor-quality clothes. So she started a company with designer Miyako Nakamura focusing on a range of workwear. It was a great hit, pulling in millions.
Hot sauce
Sarah’s choice of man wasn’t bad either. Chris had started his own media concern, First We Feast. It was a successful blog that branched out into YouTube. The show that made its name was Hot Ones, to which 3 million people subscribe. In it, host Sean Evans chats with celebrities over some very hot wings.
