My name is Jennifer and me and my doughter almost died because of preeclampsia.She was delivered 10 days before her due date by c-section.After she was delivered the NICU doctor told us she stoped growing 3 weeks before she was due. I had to be on magnesium and BP meds to bring my BP down ever after delivery. My doughter had to stat in the NICU for 4 days because she was not breathing when she was born and had had a BM while I was in labor. I was in or recovery for 4 hours while they were trying to stabilize me and I was in such bad shape that the had to put me to sleep and I don't remember much more other than at 8:00 the next morning being taken to see my beautiful baby girl. She weighed 5lbs9oz and 19inches long when she came home she was 4lbs and 12oz. Now she is a very healthy 17mth old and doing everything a normal 17mth old would do. I am now going to have my 3rd child in July 2006 I hope this pregnancy is a lot smoother than the last one.
