Jackie Miller James, a social media beauty influencer<\/a> from Orange County, California, experienced a ruptured brain aneurysm just one week from the due date of her child\u2019s birth, as announced via a GoFundMe account set up by her sisters. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n James, 35, was discovered by her husband, who rushed her to the emergency room. <\/p>\n The influencer immediately had brain surgery<\/u><\/a> and a C-section to deliver her baby.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Twelve days later, and after a total of five brain procedures, James remains in a medically induced coma, according to GoFundMe.<\/p>\n Social media influencer Jackie Miller James, shown here, is lucky to be alive, her sisters noted. They said that “if Jackie and the baby arrived a few minutes later at the hospital, we likely would have lost both of them.”<\/span> (@jaxandrose\/Instagram)<\/span><\/p>\n Since the incident, James\u2019 husband and family have remained with her at the hospital, per GoFundMe.<\/p>\n There, “they are navigating taking care of a newborn in the ICU while fighting to keep Jackie alive.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fox News Digital reached out to the family for comment via the GoFundMe and Instagram accounts. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n She and her husband, Austin James, were married in California<\/a> in April 2022 after meeting on a dating app, according to a post she shared on Instagram.<\/p>\n A brain aneurysm occurs when a “bulge or ballooning” forms at a weak spot in one of the blood vessels in the brain, which can look like “a berry hanging on a stem,” per the Mayo Clinic\u2019s website. <\/p>\n If the aneurysm ruptures, it causes bleeding in the brain, also known as an intracranial hemorrhage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brain aneurysms are more common in women than men.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aneurysms are most common between the ages of 30 and 60. Women are more prone to them than men.<\/p>\n Jackie Miller James “is expected to remain in the ICU for weeks and will continue to be hospitalized for months,” her sisters wrote.\u00a0<\/span> (@jaxandrose\/Instagram)<\/span><\/p>\n Most unruptured aneurysms don\u2019t cause symptoms and don\u2019t require treatment. An aneurysm that is leaking or has burst requires emergency surgery.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For pregnant women, aneurysms have a high mortality rate for both mother and fetus, according to Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This type of bleeding occurs in the space below one of the thin membranes covering the brain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
