My Story

In April of 2020 I survived preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome.  I was 34weeks pregnant when I started having elevated blood pressure.  I was checking my blood pressure at home and when I headed to labor and delivery with elevated blood pressure I never imagined the severity of the situation or that I would quickly develop HELLP syndrome and require an emergency C-section.  I was in the hospital for almost 1 month after a liver hematoma and embolization and my daughter required a 1 month NICU stay.  We are some of the lucky ones and I hope to raise awareness for this disorder.  I often describe my experience as me being a warrior and fighting a battle- a battle I am grateful to have won.  Welcome to Whit's Warriors!
