I hated that having to report your weight to somebody that's like, you look at it. I don't want to see it because at one point in my pregnancy, I started gaining six to seven pounds a week. And I didn't know that about preeclampsia, but that was a lot of weight gain in one week. And they would, for lack of better words, fat shame me and be like, what are you eating during the week?

Are you exercising? But here's an interesting fact. And maybe this is what's normal. My entire pregnancy, when I started at Origins until the time I was in the hospital delivering, no one had seen my vagina. Like no one had been down there.

Nothing. When they do the group B strep swab, you do it yourself, which I thought was kind of odd. I told you we transferred two embryos. We lost that second embryo at seven or eight weeks, very early on. My mom passed away when I was about six months pregnant from colon cancer. I had alongside my dad and siblings had been one of her caretakers. That was a really hard hit to our family.

First baby, I wanted my mom to meet her. After that, I'm about six months going on seven months. This is when my blood pressure starts creeping up in office. I have a history of anxiety and depression, and I always would blame things on my anxiety. In office, my blood pressure was reading 140s over, I don't know what the bottom number was, but the bottom number was up a little bit too.

They said, oh, that's a little high. And I was like, well, you know, I have anxiety and I probably just have white coat syndrome. White coat syndrome, you're scared of providers, you're scared of doctor's offices. That's my understanding that Your blood pressure might be up. Your heart rate might be up. Your vitals might read a little higher than usual. So I'd always brush it off.

I want to drive the point home. I just watched my mom die. I was hell bent on, I'm going to have a peaceful, wonderful birth. I'm not in the mood for something else to go wrong. Two weeks later, I come back in for my appointment and my weight starts really creeping up. Six, seven, eight pounds a week. I'm trying to give them reason of why I'm gaining weight.

And I'm like, well, you know, my mom just died. Maybe I had too much ice cream. I don't know. And I've been going through this and it's just stressful. I didn't even know what preeclampsia was. I know I'm a nurse, but I don't do preeclampsia with children. I didn't know that that was a complication.
