Born Too Soon: Premature Births on the RIse - KQED QUEST

[Shamrajo]

I am a mother of a premature child born 10wks. early and only weighing 2lbs. 6oz. For those of you who may be pregnant or know of someone who is, PLEASE get a at home blood pressure monitor. This machine can be purchased at your local pharmacy store and their are models that do all the work. Cost was about $60. I used one all through my second pregnancy because with my 1st child I developed preclampsia (high blood pressure) and had no signs or symptoms of this. Know your blood pressure!
