As a survivor and a new L&D RN, this is a cause I hold close to my heart.

In 2016, I was on bedrest at home before being induced for preeclampsia. I was readmitted a few days after discharge (the same day my daughter came home from the NICU) for severe postpartum preeclampsia with hypertensive crisis and acute congestive heart failure. I stayed a couple days for strict bedrest, a magnesium drip, IV lasix, and beta blockers. Following discharge, I found the Preeclampsia Foundation, joined their registry, and joined the DNA BioBank for ongoing and future research. 

While awareness is super important, fundraising is a huge way to help further the research the Preeclampsia Foundation does.
