Obviously, Aly was completely shocked when she heard the news. Because she tended to have irregular periods, she often took pregnancy tests to rule the possibility out. The ones she had taken in recent months had all come back negative.
"I was like, 'There's no way. I'm not pregnant. I'd know if I was!' I'd be huge and I'd be able to feel it!"
"I was like, 'There's no way. I'm not pregnant. I'd know if I was!' I'd be huge and I'd be able to feel it! So I was completely shocked and terrified," she said. "I started crying. I had no idea how I was going to become a mom instantly and I wasn't prepared to give birth. It was extremely scary."
Although Aly wasn't aware of how bad her condition was, she got to the hospital just in the nick of time. "I was extremely sick when I got to the hospital," she said. "My doctors told me after that I was minutes away from death and if I didn't get there any sooner, I would've died. My blood pressure was dangerously high and I was on the verge of having a stroke. I had preeclampsia, so they had to do an emergency C-section as soon as they found out I was pregnant to deliver my son."
