I went to the ER with flu like symptoms but no fever, the entire time I was in the ER my blood pressure was higher than 140/90, which after a couple hours they sent me straight to labor and delivery. I was under a 24 hour monitoring period due to my blood pressure still reading over 140/90. Then it was determined I had severe preeclampsia that only continued to worsen as the hours went on they decided to induce me. After a failed induction it was decided we proceeded with a csection. During the operation they found that there was no way I could have had a vaginal delivery due to the way my pelvis is. I wouldn’t change it for the world, all of the pain I’ve gone through in the past 3 days is completely worth it. Elias ended up being monitored in the NICU on a cpap for a few hours just to make sure his lungs are good. Ladies listen to your bodies because I could have died if I didn’t listen to mine❤️
