36. Rising Through Preeclampsia and Preterm Delivery


Listen Later

At just 15 weeks pregnant, Tabitha started to experience symptoms that, in her gut, she knew weren't right. She was taken to the hospital multiple times but because she was still so early in her pregnancy, she was told that the symptoms she was experiencing were just normal pregnancy aches, pains, and sickness.
At just 22 weeks Tabitha was admitted into the hospital with severe preeclampsia. She was retaining 30lbs of fluid, her face was so swolen that her eyes were almost forced closed, her blood pressure was absolutely the light the roof, and she truly felt like she was going to die. She spent weeks on bedrest and monitored extremely carefully, as they were worried for both her and her sons life. She managed to keep her baby in for 3 weeks, and delivered him severely premature at just 25 weeks gestation.
Join us on todays episode as Tabitha shares what it felt like to go misdiagnosed for so long, what her symptoms of preeclampsia were, and her traumatic and fast delivery.
