Nina Ivy Shares Powerful Message on Trusting Parental Instincts Over Medical Doubts
Reality star and proud mom, Nina Ivy, is urging parents to lean into their instincts — especially when it comes to their children’s health.
In a candid reflection, Nina opened up about a personal experience that shaped her perspective on medical advice. After giving birth to her son, Denzel, prematurely, she was told by a doctor that he might never walk. But rather than accepting the grim outlook, Nina trusted her gut.
“I looked him straight in the eye and said, ‘My son will walk when it’s time,’” she recalled.
And she was right — not only did her son walk, he did so before reaching his first birthday.
Nina used the moment to highlight what many parents quietly fear: that not every diagnosis is definitive, and not every medical professional has pure intentions. She warned against blindly following advice, especially when it feels off, and emphasized the importance of doing your own research.
“Some doctors are more focused on profit than people,” she said. “They’ll push medications or therapies that aren’t always necessary, just to keep you coming back.”
Her message? Don’t be afraid to question what you’re told. Trust your instincts, stay informed, and remember that no one knows your child better than you do.
For Nina, this wasn’t just about proving a doctor wrong — it was about showing other parents that belief, patience, and a little faith in their own intuition can go a long way.
