The Introduction!
Hello everybody!
First of all I will begin with a basic introduction. I am a first time mom to a 25 weeker. She is currently in the NICU as i write this post. I developed hellp syndrome / preeclampsia November 30th 2020 (of course 2020 had to give me a traumatic ending to the year). I thought it was just a gas bubble and nothing more that I was walking into the hospital with. Little did I know I was about to be flown 2 hours away with a systolic blood pressure of about 200. December 4th 2020 I gave birth (emergency c-section) to a beautiful baby girl weighing 1lb 30z. I didn’t to see her for the first two days. Just as i was starting to find my hope and accept my situation, we got the news that Baby Brida has a grade 4 brain bleeed. My heart was shattered, I was numb to reality, and I was sure I was going to lose my baby.
Brida is now 2 months old (actual and 36 weeks gestational) weighing 4lbs 5oz and is thriving. I created this blog to share my story and help anyone I can experiencing preeclampsia, preemies, c-sections, and just motherhood and life in general. I am not here for followers, I just want the help I wish I had and let anyone going through what I went through to know that they are not alone. <3
