Hey everyone! Grab some popcorn...this is a long one! I'm so excited to finally share my birth story! I still can't believe this is my story, but I love it and I'm so thankful we are both doing well now! Leave any questions below! I cut out so much of this video since it was already getting super long, but would definitely do a part 2 and share more details if anyone's interested! Have an amazing week! :) -Cara

It's been 10 years since my son was born at 29 weeks, and when you said "what are they waiting for" I burst into tears because I still remember that feeling like it was yesterday. My story is literally identical to yours, just a few weeks earlier. Went in for routine 28 week appointment. My husband actually happened to come with me that day, opposite of yours, and when the nurse left the room I remember without saying "blood pressure is great" like she always did, telling him "I'm not worried about it, I'm sure it's fine" and just then, my doctor came in and said "well I'm worried about it, you've earned yourself a trip up to labor and delivery" No one told me I was staying either. I finally asked when they thought I'd go home and the nurse said "oh honey you aren't going anywhere until the baby is born" My back hurting was my symptom of HELLP syndrome. Three days later, by night time I was so sick. By three in the morning I remember thinking "I don't know if I can beg for a C-section but this has to stop or I'm going to die". They finally came in at 4:00 and said they were going to discuss whether they could induce me or would need to do a C-section. I couldn't barely talk at this point, but in my head I was screaming "are you kidding me??? You can't induce me, I can't even think straight, do the C-section NOW". My dad was there and I just kept repeating "I can't" over and over looking at him. He looked so helpless. They finally came in at 5:00 and said they were doing the C-section, I barely scratched out my signature on the page, I know it wasn't legible. I remember when they put in the spinal block, it felt like heaven because I felt better for the first time I'm three days. I remember my husband calling my mom and saying "it's a boy" and then I don't hardly remember anything else until a day later when the nurse asked if I needed anything and I said "my baby, I need to see my baby". 10 years goes fast. Take in every second!

Exactly 40 years ago I went to doc for reg 7 month checkup, feeling bloated, but fine, I had gained a lot, urine test and he told me I had PreEcclampsia and that the baby had to be delivered in 24 hours or I would die! Sent to hospital, they immediately induced labor, and I did have a vaginal birth 12 hours later...I was in intensive care, unconscious for 3 days...I almost died. Your husband is amazing! Your care was intense, certainly better 40 years later. Two years later, normal pregnancy and I suddenly went into labor after my husband made me so upset with his cruelty (mental cruelty, not physical). No return of PreEcclampsia, just a labor that would not stop. My two sons weighed 3 lbs 10 oz, and 3 lbs 9 oz. I got a divorce and got married to a good man. Both sons are grown today, fathers themselves, and amazing they are!

Hiccups! I’m an RN so wanted to shed light on some stuff ❤️ The blood pressure cuff has to get right enough to cut off blood supply to get a reading. So it was really tight because your blood pressure was so high. The blood pressure medication they gave you along with the magnesium was more than likely labetalol. The betamethasone is a steroid to develop babies lungs quickly. The reason everything is so foggy and you don’t remember much is also from the magnesium. It makes you really fuzzy and so slow. It’s called Mag-drag. I had a similar birth experience.. so glad you and Quinn are doing good. She is beautiful

I went into preterm labor at 32 weeks, placenta abruption, and they didn’t quite tell me how bad the magnesium can get. I felt on fire and threw up. But thankfully no fogginess afterwards. Preemies are heroes ❤️❤️

Also an RN (in L&D) and I agree with Bethmarie44! I am also a mom of 5 and at 28 weeks today with my last. I’ve been given magnesium with three (including this one) and it messes with your muscle tone and makes you feel generally wretched. The steroids help mature baby’s lungs and I am also taking labetalol daily because my blood pressure has been on the increase. I’m so glad that you are both ok!❤️

Same thing happened to me. I nearly died through the process. Yes, you feel fine that's why they call it a silent killer. Unfortunately my baby was not deemed legally viable at 23+ weeks so he passed away. That was 10 years ago. I am currently 25 weeks and 4 days pregnant with another baby boy. Finally able to enjoy this pregnancy because I've passed the first milestone. (he is viable now so if anything should happen they will assist baby medically). Everything is going smoothly. God is good❤️

Same thing happened to me, except I had every obstetric emergency one after another lol. I had preeclampsia, hellp syndrome, foreceps, cord prolapse, placental abruption, massive haemorrhage, in ICU in a medically induced coma for 2 days. All the blood in my body was replaced via transfusions…. Yeah, it was fun 😂 I was dilated to 9cm and fully effaced when I got to the hospital… I just thought I was constipated 😂 so yeah my twins were born at 31 weeks, Evie was born first via forceps and an episiotomy with no pain relief… it was too late 😢 and then Harry fell out butt first then the abruption happened and all hell broke loose. I was pushed to theatre and the doctor was running along side me. I ended up with a balloon inside my uterus filled with fluid, and a bunch of gauze stuffed inside me too. It wasn’t a good time lol. Evie was 2lbs and Harry was 2lbs 2oz - oh and this has just happened, I’m in NICU right now my twins were born on the 30th of April and it’s now the 25th May so we’re on day 26 of our NICU journey. Here’s to hoping they get home soon 🤞🏼

Similar story! Except I was only 23weeks & 2days pregnant. I was extremely swollen, called the doctor and they told me to come in and get checked. My blood pressure was very high and they told me to drive myself to the hospital right way (I know, I’m mad about that now). When I got to the hospital my blood pressure was 211/112. After 2days on magnesium solfate and blood pressure medicine I had to have an emergency c-section. My baby girl Reagan was born only weighing 14.1oz. Thankfully today she is 13 days old and officially weighs 1 pound 🙏🏻 We pray everyday that she continues to do well.

Hiccups! Loved hearing your story and love you two together, you are a beautiful team/family. I had my 37 weeks appointment thinking all was well too and from there I was admitted and induced and delivered my baby at 1am. He was fine and more ready than I was! I also had no clue about anything that was happening. Now I’m almost 27 weeks and constantly monitoring my BP seeing it be okay, then spike. I’m drinking dandelion tea and it’s bringing it down. Praying I can deliver a full term baby at home. Pray for me. Due May 27th 2022 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

This was literally my birth story just a few months ago. Thank you so much for sharing. I resonated with so many parts of your experience and hearing your story helped normalize my own and bring some validation to what we went through. My daughter was born at 34 weeks at 4 pounds 4 ounces. I had severe preeclampsia and felt totally fine other than some blinking spots in my vision. I went in just to check my blood pressure and thought we’d be going home that night. She was born just a few hours later because my BP was climbing and I wasn’t responding to the meds. I also had protein in my urine. We spent 9 days in the NICU. Whew 😅 it was a rollercoaster but we’re all doing well now praise God.

I also had preeclampsia with my first baby. I had him 7/19 this year! At around 33 weeks, I went to the doctor and had slightly high blood pressure. I was sent to L & D for monitoring and everything checked out fine and I was sent home. At 37 weeks, I went to a normal appointment. Before this, I had had a few headaches that went away with Tylenol, and I was pretty swollen. But it was the middle of summer, and my mom had told me she had gotten swollen when she was pregnant, so I didn’t think much of it. So at my appointment, my blood pressure was very high and I had gained 9 lbs in 10 days and my swelling was even worse. So they sent me over to L & D and my blood pressure went up from there. But still I was convinced that I’d go home later because I felt fine and my baby was fine!!! But once I got to the hospital, my doctor rounded and told me I needed to be induced because I had preeclampsia. I was SHOCKED. I called my husband and they started giving me a bunch of medicine and prepared to have me induced. Long story short, I labored for 2 days, was on magnesium as well. And ended up with a c section because I got to 4cm and stopped and it had been 24 hours since my water broke. After my son was born, I had to stay in L & D for 24 hours for monitoring for me and stay on the magnesium. I’m so thankful my baby was healthy and didn’t need any NICU time. And I had to be on BP medicine for 6 weeks post partum. When I saw my doctor 5 days later after delivery for a BP check, they weighed me in the office and I was already 27 pounds down! It was a lot of fluid gain. Preeclampsia is so scary. Because I feel like everyone has a different story and symptoms. It’s not text book usually. And there are people like me and you who really don’t have a lot of symptoms at all who have it!!!

Just went through what you did last week with my first child/daughter, it also started as a normal. But, I went through it twice cause I had another pre-eclampsia scare a couple months ago, also happened during a routine check up, the first time is when I got the betamethasone shot. I absolutely dreaded the magnesium drip, having to go through it twice was awful lol. But I did like the little leg squeezer things that they put on me, it felt like a constant massage. But, I was scheduled to be induced at 37+5 weeks, however, I ended up being induced at 36+1. The induction failed and ended up getting a C-Section. This pregnancy was filled with so many unexpectancies, but God is good, cause my baby was safely born and very healthy. So happy to have found your channel. Currently binging all your videos lol.

Hey Cara! I never comment on videos but just had to reach out to you…I had the same exact thing happen to me! Completely normal pregnancy (no high blood pressure or even “normal” pregnancy symptoms like you mentioned in the beginning). At 35 weeks, I went in for my normal check up and my blood pressure was raised. Again, just like you, I had no other preeclampsia symptoms. My doctor sent me to the hospital that day and I ended up getting induced and having my son about 28 hours later. What a whirlwind of emotions. He ended up staying in the NICU for 2 weeks. Thank god he’s okay and it looks like Quinn is doing great as well! So happy you’re both okay and thanks for sharing your story 💕

My preeclampsia started the same way! Just a routine doctors appointment and no symptoms except high blood pressure. I was 34 weeks and they told me I’d have to be in the hospital until delivery at 37 weeks. Luckily I was able to make it to 36 and 6 days before delivering. But I spent 3 weeks in the hospital angry because I felt fine, and they kept spacing out when my blood pressure was taken since everything remained stable for those 3 weeks. My daughter was born 6 lbs 2 oz and luckily did not have to spend time in the NICU. I’m glad I found your videos, since I’ve spent the last 8 months not knowing anyone who had the issues I did, and kind of feeling alone because of that.

Hiccups 😉 I am so thankful everyone is okay! I had severe preeclampsia for both of my babies that resulted in preemies and emergency c sections, too. We are praying that God will open up the door for more kids in the future. I feel in my heart that our family is not complete yet, but there's also a big risk involved. It sounds like you definitely had a severe case and I'm so glad you were able to come through it all okay! I know preeclampsia can take a toll on you mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally, but God doesn't make mistakes and your sweet Quinn was meant to be here when she arrived! I hope you have comfort and peace in the road ahead. I met with a mfm to talk about options for another pregnancy, and there are definitely ways to minimize the severity or delay the onset if you also hope for more. Congratulations to your precious family! I'm a new sub, but happy to follow your channel! Thanks for sharing your story!! ❤

Same thing just happened to me. I was almost 33 weeks with twin girls. I also had hellp syndrome and choleostasis of the liver. My liver enzymes were almost 350 and was barely functioning. My Dr. sent me to the hospital and 2 hours later I was having an emergency c section. My twins were 4 11 and 4 15 and are now two weeks old. They are still in the hospital but should be coming home in 1 week when they are 36 weeks. They have done amazingly and I can't wait for them to come home. Preeclampsia is super scary and the mag is the worst! I had to have it 3 times. After my c section I was discharged 3 days later and the next day had to be re-admitted because my blood pressure spiked really high again and I spent 4 more days in the hospital to get it down. I think that there needs to be more awareness about Preeclampsia.

This may be my first comment on KZfaq ever! I am so glad I found your video! I search for similar stories to mine every now and then to sort of help with the grief over the whole experience. My little guy was born at 33+2 weighing 2 lb 13 oz. I went into the hospital because I thought I had really bad indigestion that wasn't going away. They diagnosed me with HELLP (I was the opposite, they never actually diagnosed me with preeclampsia...). They tried to induce me but my baby's heart rate started dropping with contractions. Because of the low platelets with HELLP I had to be put under for a c section as well. Thank you so much for sharing your story, it helped me to know that I'm not alone in the world and I know it will help others! My little boy is now almost 8 months old, and though he's still small, he's perfectly healthy and so happy!

Hiccups:) I love hearing this story. I dont have any pre eclampsia right now but I am 33 weeks pregnant with identical twins who share a placenta and they are teeny, too, like Quinn...anyway, they will be delivered at 36 weeks and will have to go to the NICU. It is so nice watching your vlogs to get a better idea of what is to come for our family💕

Hiccups. So glad you all are better. I'm sure it was very scary. My sister had the same thing and the blood pressure meds made her angry, got and she had a really bad headache. So bad that she was tested for a brain bleed. Happy to say she is fine now and my niece is now a mother herself. Both of my nieces deliveries were unmedicated and so smooth. I told my sister had to been God's way of making up for her awful delivery. Stay safe and congrats on a beautiful baby girl.

I’m in this current situation right now.. I’m only thirty weeks so they’re keeping me in the hospital until hopefully I can make it to 34 weeks and deliver. The magnesium made me feel the same way, and the betamethazone burned sooo badly! I’m on some blood thinners and bp meds to try to keep me on track! I’m so glad to hear a success story here. It makes me feel so much better!

Congratulations on your bubba. She is gorgeous and you look stunning. I had twins at 34 weeks. Similar symptoms to you and didn't feel too bad at all but everything escalated quickly with pre eclampsia. That night after they were born I went downhill and had fluid on my lungs. Pretty terrifying. Our boys were born weighing 4lb11oz and 4lb1oz. We spent 2 weeks in hospital. Fully breastfed until they were 2.5years. They are now 15 years old. My husband and Mum were wonderful support. All the best and have fun. They grow up so fast. If you have a bad day just remember that things do get better and feel better with some sleep, so rely on help from others X

I just recently started following you on here and I’m so glad I did because before I even knew what it was like to have a baby in the NICU I loved it through your vlogs since my baby wasn’t born yet!

Hi, your birth story took me back 19 years to the birth of my daughter. She was born in the 32nd week of pregnancy, because during a doctor's examination I had eclampsia. I had an emergency c-section and my daughter was born premature. I saw her a day and a half after giving birth because I was in intensive care for 24 hours after giving birth. My daughter stayed in the hospital for another three weeks, after three weeks we took her home.Thanks for sharing your story

Hi guys, I did stay until the video was finished. 😅 I happen to me at my first time pregnant. Preeclampsia is a high blood pressure complication that if is not treated it can be fatal. In my case the doctor find out that I was experiencing it cause one of my fingers in my right hand was numb and also I was gaining weight. He put me on diet and I lose almost 10 pounds , so my oldest son came in right at 39 weeks. So glad everything is just fine with Quinn and you. Sending all my love and blessings. You’re a beautiful and loved couple. Stay safe, strong and always blessed ❤️🙏🏻🌹

Hiccups! Hi Cara! Thank you for sharing your incredible birth story. So many parts had me want to cry, especially the part about the cloth baby and not being able to see Quinn right away. It is so crazy how babies can enter the world. As I said in a previous comment, I went into preterm labor at 32 weeks and had my son on February 16th when my due date was April 6th. He spent a month in the NICU and nothing at all happened as I thought it would. When I think of my birth story I think of shock, surprise, trauma, happiness, so many emotions as I'm sure you do too. I am so happy that Quinn is healthy and you are okay. Looking forward to more videos! -Clarissa

Hiccups! I love her name. My second daughter was 4 lbs 6oz at birth because I had preeclampsia too. I totally agree that I felt fine and taking a bed in the hospital was wrong because other sick moms might need it. I guess the whole thing was just surreal. Happy to say mine will be 22 this year and perfectly healthy. She was tiny most of her life but caught up to her big sister. (By the way that outfit on Quinn is adorable).

My first c section almost 12 years ago was an emergency. My 2nd c section was almost 10 years ago. Now preparing for my 3rd c section March 9th 2021. I've been trying to mentally prepare myself due to past complications and the complications I'm having now and I'm also 10 years older than my last surgery. I have high amniotic fluid and baby is growing fast. They also found protein in my urine my last visit so getting worried about everything. I am 35 weeks, I am however excited and anxious to finally meet our baby girl Charlee Mae. C sections are no joke and are a major surgery. To all the C section moms out there I feel your pain and anxiety. You are strong and you should be proud of yourself
