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?
