Preeclampsia, a C-section at 32 Weeks, the NICU, and Staying Positive Through It All: First Time Mom Christie's Experience

Send us a text


Massachusetts mom Christie and her husband tried for a year and a
half before they finally conceived. At her 20-week anatomy scan,
she was diagnosed with VCI and got growth scans the rest of her
pregnancy. At her 32 week growth scan, they discovered she had
severe preeclampsia and transferred her to another hospital about
an hour away because her local hospital didn't have a NICU. She
had my daughter almost exactly 29 hours later via an emergency
c-section.

Christie shares her birth story and what her experience was like
each step of the way. She shares what was challenging and most
importantly, what she is grateful for.
