On a sunny day in July during my 33rd week of pregnancy I called my doctor to report an uncomfortable feeling. I was asked to come in for an evaluation and discovered my water broke. I was then admitted to the hospital awaiting delivery. Due to the stage in my pregnancy my babys' lungs were not yet fully developed so I was given a shot to accelerate that process. I was told it would take 48 hours and the doctors would do thier best to delay labor until then. Two days later I was induced and that night I delivered my tiny blessing. He spent his first 2 weeks of life in the NICU. That tiny blessing is now 6ft tall and thriving!
I joined the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk.
With preterm birth and maternal death rates continuing to rise, I’m committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. But I need your help.
