Sade was born at 27 weeks weighing 1 pound and 11 ounces. This was cause due to me having preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs, typically the kidneys or liver. It usually occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy and can affect both the mother and the baby if not managed properly. The condition is often accompanied by protein in the urine, swelling, and sometimes severe headaches or vision changes.If left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious complications like eclampsia (which can cause seizures) or placental abruption (where the placenta detaches from the uterus), both of which can be dangerous for both the mother and baby.
Please come walk with us to show how much we support Parents and Babies all around the world.
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.
Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Together we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
