The struggles my husband and I went through when our daughter was born 11 weeks premature.
Hi! My name is Christy, I'm 28 years old and I live in tornado alley. Once my daughter is a little older I'll be going back to school to pursue my Psych degree.

I've recently been through some major stuff and I want to share it with others. There's nothing like the turmoil of almost dying and having a premature baby in the ICU for eleven weeks.

I had Eclampsia, which is described in more detail in my entries. Typically the doc will test for Eclampsia at 32 weeks or so, but I was struck with it at 29 weeks, so no one had any idea I even had it. So all you pregnant ladies out there: If you have a severe headache, go to the ER immediately. I had a severe headache the night before I had the seizures, which was a warning that my blood pressure was too high.
