Name: Leesa Lutton
Where do you currently live? Warren, PA
How far along were you when you found out you were expecting twins? 10 Weeks
Any issues during your pregnancy? I was hospitalized at 29 weeks due to high blood pressure. I was released 2 days later and placed on home bed rest. At 35 weeks they were born via emergency c-section due to HELLP Syndrome.
Memorable/funny moment when you were pregnant: When we found out we were having twins they were said to be the size of blueberries. They were then known as the "Blues Brothers", although we did not know their sex.
Looking back, what is one thing you would tell your pregnant self? Enjoy the pregnancy, even if there are ups, downs, and uncertainties. Also, listen to your body. If it's telling you there is something wrong chances are there is.
