Allie’s Personal Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting my 2021 Promise Walk for Preeclampsia fundraising page. I am grateful for your donations and for your help in spreading the word about preeclampsia. My goal is to help our community raise funds and awareness and save the lives of moms and babies! Please make a donation to support our efforts to fund education and research into this life-threatening disorder of pregnancy. My story: I’ve started and stopped writing this about 15 times. I’m still struggling with the trauma of postpartum preeclampsia. With Wyatt, my blood pressure spiked at 36 weeks, I was induced at 37 weeks for gestational hypertension. I was sent home without any medication, only to be readmitted a week later for a 24 hour magnesium drip followed by 24 hours of monitoring on blood pressure medicine. I was on the medicine for 6 months before my body regulated itself. Fast forward 3 years and the exact same thing happened with Caroline. Gestational hypertension, induction, no medication at discharge, postpartum preeclampsia, mag drip, etc. My blood pressure is still high, and I am still taking medication for it. I was fortunate enough to have excellent health care, have a BP cuff at home, and to know the signs of preeclampsia. I’m excited to be raising money and awareness for this cause very close to my heart.
