Two years ago when Katie Blinoff was around 30 weeks pregnant, she thought a call to her father was the last phone call she was ever going to make.
An hour after arriving at hospital, an Aussie mum to two boys and 30 weeks pregnant made a harrowing phone call she thought would be her last.Just weeks away from giving birth, Ms Blinoff went to a midwife appointment as usual but was taken to emergency when she collapsed and starting having a seizure.
“My partner’s just trying to keep me calm and by this point, I’m trying not to wake my two other kids up,” Ms Blinoff said. After advocating for herself for over an hour, a student nurse confirmed she was two centimetres dilated.

Despite her string of medical challenges, Ms Blinoff said apart from her family, fitness and running is what brings her joy. “You don’t realise what you have until it’s almost taken away from you. I strongly believe that every woman who heals herself also heals her children,” she said. “I either wouldn’t eat at all, or I would just snack and I wouldn’t have a proper meal. It wasn’t until getting into running that I was no longer afraid of food,” she said.Now her eating is back on track and race day preparations are a must.
