When I was pregnant with my daughter
North, I had a condition called
preeclampsia or toxemia which is
basically when the moms organs start to
shut down. The only way to get rid of
that is to deliver the baby. At 34 and a
half weeks I had to go into emergency
labor, they induced me. North was four
pounds, she was almost six weeks early.
After I delivered my placenta never came
out, so that's called placenta accreta.
So my placenta grew inside my uterus and
that is what women die from in
childbirth. But after my daughter was
born, I still continued to do the process
of freezing my eggs. I was able to get
pregnant through that with my son Saint
and then I had two embryos left and I
had this same condition and the same
awful delivery that I had with my first
daughter. Well after that I actually had
to have five different operations within
a year and a half to fix the damage that
all of that did from the inside. But on
the outside I was filming and photo
shoots and you know. Yeah so I asked my
doctors, "Can I do it one more time?" and
they were like we won't even put an
embryo in you that would be like
malpractice. And I opted to have a
surrogate to use the last, two different
surrogates to use the last two embryos
that we had. I am just so thankful for my
beautiful kids, you know no matter how
they came to me they came to me. I'm so
thankful for surrogates and I'm really
thankful for my family. I grew up with so
many siblings that I just love being in
a big family environment and
I would have gone through the same pain,
you know and back for the result of my,
having my babies. It was all worth it. The
charity that I've chosen is the Bail
Project because I have seen that so many
families are torn apart by just not
having a fair bail system. It's really
important to me to make sure that
families are reunited and families are
connected, especially this holiday season.
