Massachusetts mom Christie and her husband tried for a year and a half before they finally conceived. At her 20-week anatomy scan, she was diagnosed with VCI and got growth scans the rest of her pregnancy. At her 32 week growth scan, they discovered she had severe preeclampsia and transferred her to another hospital about an hour away because her local hospital didn't have a NICU. She had my daughter almost exactly 29 hours later via an emergency c-section.

Christie shares her birth story and what her experience was like each step of the way. She shares what was challenging and most importantly, what she is grateful for.
