Baby boy made his appearance at 29 weeks

Rihan • First time mom. Gunnar 💙 born 29+2

Welp, my Gunnar decided he wanted to make an appearance into this world earlier than his 4/16/2020 due date.

Baby boy was born February 1, 2020. 2 lbs 4 oz.

I got preeclampsia really bad so I had a c section. After surgery, I apparently stopped breathing and later that evening I had to be placed on dialysis. I previously had hypertension and kidney problems prior to pregnancy but being pregnant just made my whole body shut down unfortunately. I am grateful to still be here but this has been a hard adjustment.

I have to do a few more dialysis treatments but I am unsure if dialysis will be apart of my everyday life at this point :(

Any new mom advice about anything I am going thru?

- NICU baby life

- Kidney disease

- Hypertension

- LIFE in general!
