I Felt My Brain ‘POP’ and Suffered a Stroke After Bending Down

When mom Bridget Chiovari was out on a hike with friends and their children she didn’t think anything of having to stop for a break.
The 30-year-old took her 18-month-old daughter Liliana out of her carrier for a bit of respite and felt a popping sensation in her head.
Bridget, who was also 24 weeks pregnant with her second child at the time, felt an intense dizziness and horrific headache, but decided to hike home in the hope that the strange sensation would go away.
But that evening her headache continued to get worse and the Arizona mom said her husband Chris, 33 took her to hospital.
