And mine was the size of a small pancake. So it just shows you like how damaged and how unhealthy that placenta was. And that's why Sadie was born so small and weak. The placenta was very sick. After I had Sadie, it was maybe like an hour after, like she was laying on my chest and Dr. Fuller said, your cheeks are really red. She told the nurse, can you take her temperature?

I have it here in the nurse's note. It was 102.4. My temperature shot up real quick. She told the nurse to start whatever antibiotic. In the charting, it says I had chorioamnioitis. And so that's an infection of the placenta and the amniotic fluid. I ended up with HELP syndrome. HELP syndrome happens after preeclampsia. HELP syndrome stands for

hemolysis, which is breaking down of the red blood cells, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count. Your red blood cells start breaking down so your blood levels start to decrease. Your liver enzymes elevate and then your platelets plummet. They go way down. So then you're at risk for bleeding out. And it was a hard recovery. I ended up needing antibiotics and it was just rough.

My OB came to me the next day. I was in the hospital. She sat on my bed and she grabbed my hand and she was like, I'm so glad you're here. And I'm so glad Sadie's here. And she said, that was one of the top three scariest delivers I've ever done. And she's been in a doctor for a very, very long time. She said, I had no clue that you had a prothrombin gene mutation.

She hadn't been taking care of me. She's like, it is a miracle. You didn't throw a clot on the table and for lack of better words, died. It's an utter miracle that you're both here and alive. There were signs in your lab work. Your liver enzymes were already elevated. Your blood pressure was creeping up already. And your weight was creeping up the weeks prior to this happening.

Like you should have already been sent out of their care. They shouldn't have kept you as long as they did. Also, something my OBGYN circled, origins was aware of my prothrombin gene mutation. And the prothrombin gene mutation I have can contribute to having a preeclampsia complication. On top of being an IVF patient, that puts you at higher risk of preeclampsia and other complications.

I also had a gene mutation that I didn't know puts you at a risk for preeclampsia. I don't see the medical knowledge background for them to be able to put those pieces together. Once I had her, I got home. We did a follow-up with the OB doctor. and then also with Origins because we had already paid for it, so we might as well do it.
