Sweet Karolina
Hillary and Sarah Barnes were shocked when their doctor said Sarah would be admitted to the hospital immediately because of preeclampsia. "All I kept thinking was it's too soon, she's too small," said Sarah. "This wasn't how we had planned the birth of our first child.". As the days turned into a week, doctors and nurses did everything they could to prolong the pregnancy and control Sarah’s blood pressure, but on November 11, 2017 Karolina came into this world six weeks early, weighing 3 pounds, 13 ounces. She was whisked off to the NICU while doctors worked to stabilize Sarah after her weeklong
struggle.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure in women whose blood pressure had been normal. Left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious — even fatal — complications for both mom and baby. The condition has become an increasingly common diagnosis in the developed world and remains a high cause of maternal and fetal death in the developing world.
"We often think how lucky we were. We had access to health care, and our doctors were able to diagnose my condition," said Sarah. "Our care at UnityPoint Health-Meriter was incredible."
"March of Dimes is working hard to discover the causes of preeclampsia and what triggers premature birth, in addition to advocating and providing local programs for women in need," said Hillary. "By telling our story, we hope to bring awareness about this condition to other
families and empower everyone to continue to raise funds for March of Dimes. No family should experience a birth that's other than perfect."
