My back really hurts. I feel a little crampy.' And I really thought it was going to be another one of those, 'Yeah, babe, that's pregnancy. You're going to be fine, but you can come in if you want me to check you' type situations.”
“But instead,” she continued, “she was like, 'You know what? Actually, I think you should go see the fetal specialist to monitor, to make sure that everything's okay, and then you'll go home. It's not a big deal.'”

"I went home and I blew up like a balloon” she recalled. “Quite literally, just swelled. I felt very ill... So [Dr. A] sent over her wonderful nurse and my blood pressure was 165 over 103."
