LeeAnn's Story - Pre-term Baby + Pre-eclampsia

LeeAnn tells her story on this week's episode.  She shares her journey through infertility issues, to getting diagnosed at 28 week's with pre-eclampsia.  Her situation went from confusion to scary very fast.  LeeAnn was rushed to a specialty hospital to deliver her sweet 2 lb 3 oz baby, Kamry.  She shares her journey of delivering a very pre-term baby and what life was like for their 10 week stay in the NICU. According to the WHO, 15 million babies are born pre-term every year.  That is 1 in 10 babies.  LeeAnn's delivery was considered a "very preterm" baby.   The subcategories are: • Extremely preterm (less than 28 weeks) • Very preterm (28-32 weeks) • moderate to late preterm (32-37 weeks) Knowing the signs and symptoms of seeing pre-eclampsia in your loved one might just save their life! Thank you LeeAnn for sharing your story and helping to raise awareness.Support the show
