Episode 66: Preeclampsia: One Mom’s Story of Fear, Survival & Resilience
Guest: Dana Adams, NICU mom & preeclampsia survivor
As we continue our four-part series on pre-eclampsia, this mom’s story of fear, survival and resilience will both empower and encourage you.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Was your pregnancy considered high-risk from the beginning?
- When were you given a pre-eclampsia diagnosis?
- What was your relationship like with your OB/GYN and maternal fetal medicine doctor?
- What do you want people to know about your experience with pre-eclampsia?
- What were some of the challenges you experienced as a mom in the NICU? What about your baby, both in the NICU and beyond?
- What’s your best advice to a woman diagnosed with pre-eclampsia?
