I'm destiny's child. I wasn't meant to be born: my mother bled for four months when she was pregnant, and then she fell down the stairs in her eighth month of pregnancy. She nearly died; I believe I came into this world for a reason.
I know that I have this platform with our fans and with social media and all of that good stuff. I really hope that people become more aware of premature birth, and I hope there's more that can be done to prevent this.
I was 17 pounds when I was born. My mother couldn't walk for three weeks.
My pregnancy was great, but the last three weeks were manic because my blood pressure was going up and up.
When I was about 3 months pregnant, I was running, looked down, and there was blood everywhere. I totally freaked out, but the doctor said everything was okay, except that I had to stop running.
I was able to do concerts all the way up until two weeks before I had the baby; I thought I was stopping a month ahead, but he was three weeks early.
I came into the world two months too soon, I was in such a hurry.
On social media, we have a lot of fans. It's so important to me to spread awareness of premature babies and premature birth.
Two premature babies was not a genetic thing; we were just unlucky.
