Size 8 Opens Up on Pregnancy Struggles ¶
Published on November 21, 2019, Size 8 shared her emotional 12-minute video on YouTube, 'The Journey,' detailing her struggles during her second pregnancy.
After a miscarriage in the past, Size 8 was in a state of panic and worried that she might lose her unborn child. She recalled experiencing a major pressure attack, minor strokes, convulsions, and paralysis on her left side.
Doctors discovered fibroids, which caused contractions but would not affect the baby. However, Size 8's blood pressure started rising again, leading to dizzy spells, headaches, and convulsions. She also experienced minor strokes, leaving her left side paralyzed.
Size 8 was rushed to the hospital several times to check for organ damage due to her recurrent blood pressure. At one point, she couldn't feel her baby move anymore, and she was put on oxygen to help with her neurons.
After a caesarian-section, the baby was rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Size 8 recounted the events, saying, "I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t walk, I was completely off, I was rushed up for checkup, checked my pressure and of course that of the unborn baby. They put me on oxygen to help with the neurons, as they said they were the ones that were dysfunctional, then I felt better."
