I am 21 years old, and I was 20 when I got pregnant with my beautiful little girl Riley Anne. I had a rough pregnancy with her. I went through bad situations with her father, and then to top it off, I got influenza A when I was 27 weeks pregnant. I went to the hospital 3 times. the first 2 times they sent me home. the day after that 2nd time I went back. Overnight my lungs had gone from clear to me having double pneumonia. They admitted me to the hospital, and were giving me steroids to help prepare her lungs. my breathing rate was so high and my oxygen levels were so low that they thought that they would have to emergently take her via C-section and put me on life support. I was so bad and out of it that the doctor did not think i heard him talking to my mom. but he told her i was so bad she needed to decide who they were going to save, me or the baby, should it come to it. I was hospitalized for a week. and finally well enough to come home. on may 29th 2011 i had my beautiful baby girl. she was 8 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long. she is almost 4 months old now and everyone always tells me how beautiful she is and that i should get her into modeling. what do you think? if anyone had feedback or info id appreciate it greatly.
