Six weeks after giving birth to her son, Amanda developed an unusual rash and severe stomach pain. She thought she might be having a reaction to antibiotics, but her symptoms quickly worsened. Her husband rushed her to the hospital where it was determined that Amanda was battling sepsis. In honor of Maternal Sepsis Week, Amanda is bravely sharing her story to help us raise sepsis awareness.
