Good job ladies for telling your stories I’m sure it was not a easy thing to do this is also educational to us men helping us understand and value our women and the risks they take to have our babies ❤️.
I had preeclampsia with the last three pregnancies of my five kids with the last one being severe. I had my youngest who is now 21 months old at the age of 44 and she is a rainbow baby. She was born at exactly 34 weeks. The last month or two in the pregnancy i started having floaters in my vision. i was on two different blood pressure medications (labetalol and nifedipine) which had to keep being adjusted throughout the pregnancy to control my pressure. the day before i had her, i felt weak, headachy, and noticed my baby wasnt moving as much so i went to the emergency room and was admitted right away. my blood pressure was through the roof. 200 ish/115. Immediately i was given more blood pressure meds, iv fluids, magnesium sulfate and they wrapped these things around both my lower legs that inflate and deflate to prevent blood clots, After my blood pressure came down to 160 i was transferred by ambulance to the hospital out of town i was to deliver at. I was monitored the rest of that day and was told the next day that my baby would have to be born by csection (csection number 5). so the next day came and i was to have my baby supposedly at 2 pm but they delayed me because they had other csections that were more emergent than mine since i was somewhat stable. I ended up having her at 6:10 pm and she spent 3.5 weeks in the Nicu. I was nervous giving birth alone but i had a good support team of doctors and nurses. they numbed me up so good and i didnt feel a thing unlike my last two csections. i continued to stay on magnesium sulfate for 24 hours after the delivery and i was on pitocin at the same time as well. Preeclampsia is no joke and many mothers die from it, I could have had a stroke and died myself and i thank God me and my baby made it. #Preeclampsia survivor #Severe preeclampsia
