Gracie had a bowel obstruction, and that's why she was born at 38 weeks rather than 40 weeks. The doctors were able to catch this because Kailyn had been having weekly ultrasounds for her "mild" hypertension. Gracie was born by c-section because natural labor was taking too long. And Kailyn was never able to visit Gracie in the NICU after her surgery because Kailyn was in so much pain from having her c-section. It took Kailyn 6 months to talk about this because she was afraid people would judge her.
Heck yeah, I'm gonna judge you, Kailyn. Perhaps if you had a healthier diet and exercise routine during pregnancy you could avoided Gracie needing surgery once born, and you wouldn't have as many problems with hypertension yourself!
