This Episode of Cele's Reflection features an interview with Ashley, a mother of three who shares her personal experience with preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage.

Ashley describes how she developed preeclampsia during her first pregnancy, which led to the premature delivery of her first child at 30 weeks. Tragically, the baby passed away after 49 days in the NICU. Ashley then became pregnant again just 5 months after the loss, and had a high-risk second pregnancy that also resulted in a premature birth, though her second child survived.

During the interview, Ashley emphasizes the importance of awareness and education around preeclampsia, as many expectant mothers are unaware of the symptoms and risks. She outlines key signs to watch for, such as severe headaches, swelling, and right-side pain. Ashley also notes that first-time mothers, those with a history of hypertension, and those with large gaps between pregnancies are at higher risk.

Ultimately, Ashley's powerful story highlights the need for better maternal healthcare and the lasting impact preeclampsia can have on women and their families. Her advocacy work through the Zurin Zilani Foundation aims to prevent similar tragedies by empowering women to be proactive about monitoring their health during pregnancy.
