My name is Lori Schrader. I am 34 (almost 35 - ugh) and I live in Sandusky, OH (USA)

My husband is Tim (35)and I have a daughter called Emily - 5 (7-11-94).

My pre-eclampsia started at 29-30 weeks, was put on partial bedrest at 31 and total at 32. Emergency induction at week 34, and developed HELLP (with seizures and coma) 12 hours after vaginal breech delivery.

I like Reading, aerobics, golfing, decorating and watching movies. I'm a major dog lover, but really getting to love cats, too. I love animals. I volunteer for Sidelines (national support via email, phone, or home visits for women in high-risk pregnancy) and also run support coffees for Resolve (national support for infertility, adoption, etc.).
