After undergoing 1 round of IVF and undergoing 1 embryo transfer, I became pregnant with my miracle baby. My pregnancy went beautifully and smoothly until I became 34 weeks pregnant. I noticed that my entire body began swelling and I experienced a rapid weight gain of approximately 13lbs. within only 3 weeks. When I went to my appointment with my obgyn, we addressed the rapid weight gain and it was noted that there was a low level of proteins in my urine. I was 34 weeks pregnant at the time and my blood pressure was also slightly elevated, 130/85. My obgyn informed me that I was most likely experiencing preeclampsia and to start taking my blood pressure at home. While at home, I continued to take my blood pressure for the next few days. One morning, my blood pressure was very elevated, 140/90. I decided to keep a close eye on this and took my blood pressure again 2 hours later. My blood pressure continued to rise. My blood pressure was 153/95 when I went to the emergency room. At the emergency room, it was determined that I had severe preeclampsia and needed to be induced. At this time, I was 35 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I was given a high dose of magnesium, which made me extremely groggy, overheated, and nauseous. The entire time I was being induced, it was a blur. Continuous labs were taken while I was being induced and it was noted that all of my electrolytes were off. My kidney function and liver function became a concern. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy at 35 weeks and 4 days. He came out breathing on his own, but was monitored closely in the nicu for approximately 10 days. Due to the high level of magnesium I received, it transferred to my baby; causing him to be extremely groggy at birth. He was given a cpap machine and feeding tube for the first night. I didn’t see him for 3 days after birth. I couldn’t move from all of the medication I had received. This was very traumatic for me. I had just had a vaginal birth in what felt like a blur, and my baby was immediately taken to the nicu. I remained on magnesium for 2 days post delivery. I remained hooked up to 2 IV’s (one in each arm), a blood pressure cuff, and a catheter. When all of the IV’s, equipment, and tubes were removed, I was finally able to visit my baby boy in the nicu. Even though he was born at 35 weeks and 4 days, he was still a larger preemie, weighing in at 5lbs. 7oz. and 18 inches long. He was monitored very closely for 10 days and was finally discharged. Due to the level of grogginess he displayed, he had some issues with feedings and this was monitored very closely prior to his discharge. I have needed to see a cardiologist, nephrologist, and endocrinologist, in addition to my obgyn post delivery. My son has had many appointments with his pediatrician and has been fortunately thriving. We are blessed to both be home safely. I hope that my story can provide some insight, support, and help other women.
