It took me a long time to feel comfortable sharing my story. I’m finally at the point of wanting to talk about it, so here it goes…. When I was 25 weeks and 3 days pregnant I gave birth to my daughter. It was one of the most scariest days of my life. And I say “one of the most” because something else happened, which I will go into more detail later. My pregnancy was pretty normal and healthy. The only issue I had was morning sickness. I went to the doctor about 3 weeks prior to going to the hospital. At that doctors visit, everything was fine. I noticed my feet were a little swollen but it didn’t bother me. About 2 weeks later I swelled. My feet looked like bricks and I didn’t have ankles. It was leg to foot. I knew something was wrong when I couldn’t keep up with my husband in the grocery store as I was so out of breath. The next morning I called the doctor and they told me to go to the ER as they thought I had a blood clot in one of my lungs. The blood clot was ruled out, but I wound up having severe preeclampsia and it was only getting worse. It took them forever to get my blood pressure down. They told me 2 days later that I could have died as well as my daughter if they didn’t get my blood pressure under control. And the strange thing is, I normally have low blood pressure. Anyway, I was giving steroid shots to help with my daughters lungs. On Saturday, June 26th, just 3 days in the hospital, my husband and I were told that we were having a baby. I had to have an emergency c-section. My daughter weighed only 1 pound 2 ounces when she was born. She was in the NICU for FOUR months. I’ll continue with more of my story later ♥️
