My Traumatic Birth Story | Preeclampsia Seizure

160/106 is stage 2 hypertension. Stage 3 hypertension is 180/120+ Usually stage 2 can be managed at home with medication but being pregnant changes everything and you need to go to the hospital because the risk is much higher and much more dangerous for mom and baby. I’m glad y’all are both okay now!

Eclampsia is very traumatizing really. My blood pressure was very high it was 240/140, and my baby cannot take it, she died inside me.💔

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I pray you heal from this trauma, I can’t imagine having to go through this. I definitely cried a lot but I’m so happy there was a happy ending!

Lay on your left side to bring down your pressure. I had it twice and my bed rest was miserable. I had to lay on my left side for almost two months, as much as possible. It does keep your pressure down. Mine would go from extremely high to almost normal on my left. Each of my children were a month early. Low birth weight but both were perfectly healthy. My daughter was 4 lbs and had a 10 day stay in the hospital. Wouldn’t let her come home until she weighed 5 lbs. They kept her in a warmer. I called it an easy bake oven. I hemorrhaged after my son. Maybe 4 hours after he was born. I would rather have gone through pregnancy, labor and delivery again. I was hooked back up to pitocin again and the room was insane and chaotic. The nurses were pushing on my uterus with all their might. I was passing huge clots. I could feel them coming out. I survived both births and so did my kids. They are 20 and 23 now. It was all worth it.

I'm really glad to hear your story because mine is similar and traumatic. I'd describe the magnesium as feeling like I'm burning from the inside.

So so proud of you! thank you for sharing this I definitely cried a few times but wow i’m so relieved that both of you are okay! Praise Jesus! 🙌🏼🤍🤍

So much love for you!❤

😭😭😭😭 I'm so happy that you are all well. I cried watching this, you're such a strong woman!!! I'm so glad you didn't need emergency C-section. For me recovery from planned C-sections was traumatic and painful for at least 1-2 weeks. I'm so glad God spared that for you having already such a difficult pregnancy and delivery.

You're amazing, God is good and I am so glad everything was okay. P. S you look beautiful

Magnesium drip!!! (And the catheter 😢 ouch. And pitocin 😩😫) Nooooo!!!! Preeclampsia is no joke! The magnesium had me seeing quadruple. I had it for 5 days. It made all good taste so bad for so long after. So glad you two are well!

I also had preclampsia and it’s such a scary thing to go through. I am glad you are ok now❤️ when you said magnesium drip I started having flashbacks lol. 🤢🤕. My epidural also only worked on one side for me!

Thank you so much for pronouncing the name Julie correctly! 🥳 Most people pronounce it as JEWEL-E but that’s wrong. The correct way to pronounce it is JEW-LEE

Crazy story😬 makes me think twice before getting pregnant lol So why not Lev? 🦁

Im curious how you think the rest of us that have emergency c-sections get up and go to our babies in the NICU? We walk! Its not that bad.

:( I loss my baby last week to this .

Why did your husband have you pack your bag while you’re having high BP and stroke symptoms? That is uhhh not cool of him..idk maybe it’s just my husband but he would never do that..
