Today's birth story guest is Megan and she shares all about her journey with IVF,  she ended up having preeclampsia and was induced three weeks early.  Her cervix was completely closed, and her blood pressure hit dangerous levels and she was put on magnesium to lower it.  Then her body absorbed too much magnesium and she got magnesium poisoning.  After two and a half days she requested a C-section.  She also experienced postpartum hemorrhaging about a week postpartum.  If you are currently pregnant you may want to check in with your self and assess your emotional readiness for today's episode.
