Alok and Romana talk about emergency delivery: ‘I thought I would not be alive’ | Fantastic

In a conversation with reporter Renata Ceribelli, Alok and Romana showed the first photos of Raika, the couple’s second daughter. The 11-day-old baby remains in a neonatal ICU.

“The first 48 hours were extremely difficult, I just managed to keep praying, asking God that everything would go well and that it would not be okay. But the Roman was … ”Alok says.

Renata ceribelli – Romana, didn’t you take Raika on your lap?

Romanian – Renata, for me it is the most difficult of all, you know? Because mom, right? We want to be, breastfeed and the dream of breastfeeding like that, I didn’t have it. Our contact was very quick when she was born. I was so afraid of everything that I didn’t even want to touch her because of COVID and they took her from me, took her to the ICU and we separated.

Alok – Romana has been a great warrior. He has not been able to stay with Raika for nine days because he has not yet tested negative for COVID. I was able to see her after seven days, a week later. First I went to hug my son, Ravi. I stayed with him, then I went to the maternity ward and I always pass the information on to Romana as well.

Romanian – We make video calls, the only way I have to be closer to her now, is that right? What scared me the most was that things got worse very quickly. On Monday I started with symptoms of pain in the body, a little feverish, on Tuesday too.

Alok – I never would have imagined that he was in labor, I thought it was a problem that he should be feeling some discomfort so let’s take him to Dr. Erika

Romanian – Then I came to the clinic with Alok to be evaluated and we did an ultrasound but suddenly, after a few minutes, when I was changing to do another exam, I started to bleed a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot and I was very scared. He was bleeding non-stop, there was blood all over the room. Alok was very nervous

Renata – At that moment you said: I lost my baby.

Romanian – I just shouted: I need to save my daughter, I have a lot of pain, it hurts too much, and it was a pain that I cannot describe and … a lot of blood, a lot of blood. We went straight to the hospital in the car, I was already imagining that she was coming or something worse, right? I thought she might not be alive.

Alok – I’m sorry Renata, we don’t talk much about it, we get a little emotionally discouraged
