I know, I know, I’m supposed to stop cursing. But I really think it’s justified…
Remember the little girl who spent the weekend with us? Of course you do, I just wrote about it on Monday…
Anyhoo, the reason she spent the weekend with us is because her grandmother was going out of town. For a girls’ trip. The grandma and the other ladies get to Florida on Friday. One of the ladies – who just so happens to be pregnant – complains that her stomach hurts. They tell her to sit down and relax. She sat down and died. From preeclampsia.
I am not often shocked into silence, but when she recounted the story, I was rendered speechless. How absolutely horrifying – for her family, for her girlfriends. I just cannot imagine.
I had preeclampsia w/ my son. It was the most horrifying experience. Before I went into labor, the doctors told my parents they’d do everything they could but there was a chance that 1 or both of us may not survive. Thank God we both did.
I’m glad that all worked out well. I’ve had a few friends who developed it late in pregnancy. I thank God this was not something I had to deal with.
Oh my goodness! That is horrible. So sad. I haven’t heard about preclampsia. What a terrible vacation.
After my post from yesterday you go head and post THIS???!!!!!
*passes smooth out under the desk*
My bad TIH, my bad!!!
After my post from today you go ahead and post this!? *throws bricks at you*
Wow…
My mom had it with me. I had it with my first pregnancy, twins. I spent much of my pregnancy on bed rest as well as a weekend in the hospital and the month before my delivery in the hospital. This post just makes me want to ask so many questions. Its really sad.
So sad.
My sister suffered from it and my niece was an emergency c-section.
That is sad. I had a co-worker pass away while she was 4 months pregnant. It’s common, yet serious condition that many don’t know about.
Oh my word………..
I couldn’t imagine….just horrible and unfair.
Oh my God. That’s horrible.
I am sorry to hear of her passing. I’m glad she was surrounded by friends at that time. I hope their fond memories will sustain them.
Additionally, I encourage all of us to seize our moments to not only live life but enjoy it to its fullest!
Wow. I had the dreaded P while I was pregnant and it almost took me down. Just wow.
Oh my word. That is awful! Her husband lost his wife AND baby.
