Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, I dreamed about having a baby. I always envisioned myself as a mother but never knew it would take so much sacrifice to get there. After the dream finally became a reality, and the stick turned pink, I had no idea I would almost lose my life trying to bring one into the world. Preeclampsia stole something from me, and I spent years trying to understand the reasons why. After the hardest nine months of my life, I swore I would never put my body through that risk ever again. Well, as time passed, the wounds healed and the memories began to fade. Even though the fear was still very much alive, the desire was greater. I searched for statistics, and doctor's advice, but nothing was what I needed to hear. No one could give us the answers to our questions, because Preeclampsia still isn't well understood. With such uncertainty we could've quit--could've given up the dream--but I wasn't ready. My body had something to prove to me, and I knew I needed to give it that chance. After countless hours of research, and finding a doctor who was my advocate, we decided to venture forward with our dream. Five years after the scariest day of my life, I became pregnant with my second child. This book showcases every step of my pregnancies with raw and uncut detail. This is my true story of Pregnancy After Preeclampsia.
