Carolina did not even suspect that after almost a day of giving birth, her life would hang by her hair: she saw the child only after three days in resuscitation.

Klaipėda Karolina (real name and surname are known to the newsroom) said that her situation was difficult from the beginning of her pregnancy. “I was still bleeding, so I was diagnosed with an imminent pregnancy. I spent most of it at home. I have two spinal hernias, so giving birth naturally is not recommended. On the day of my cesarean section set by my gynecologist, I went and went to the hospital. I was examined by a neurosurgeon, who assured me that my doctor’s findings could be questioned and that I would give birth naturally, “who to cut here,” the woman said. She was released home.

For the second time with a stimulus, Carolina arrived again on a day set by a gynecologist. But the doctors who examined her said the date was wrong, that the baby was not transferred to facilitate delivery. Finally, 4 days later, with the third referral for delivery, the woman was hospitalized. “I said I could wait another three days, if I didn’t give birth by then, I would cheer up. Three days later, on September 23, 2016, they took me to the maternity ward, where they gave me a stimulant pill at 7:30. am In total, I drank three of them every two hours. At that time, I could still walk, swing with a gymnastic ball. But later, with the pills not working, I began to apply stimulant infusions. The activity did not take place, but the pain was already very great. The service personnel were very tired, so when asked how to breathe, they said, “Oh what, right?”

When the shift changed, it was decided to cut to let the waters escape. “She did it twice and only the second time she almost made it. The change could have been a little better, but there were a record number of women giving birth, so of course everyone needed attention. The incentive activity did not. she encouraged, I was already tired, it was not recommended to perform epidural anesthesia due to the situation of my spine. After another shift, an incredible midwife came, who communicated very nicely and seeing how difficult it was for me to teach her to breathe, she told her to her husband what to tell me and where to massage me to keep me more vibrant. Around 8 pm, she noticed that she had forgotten to apply antibiotics against strep bacteria, so she started adding another drip. At about 11 pm Activity started, my neck started to twist a bit, but I was already tired, passed out, so I called an anesthesiologist who was still injecting me with epidural anesthesia. I fell asleep for an hour, after that I started to get very hot, and I was so weak that I barely opened my eyes, I stayed away from the last, ”said Karolina.

During all this time, they administered stimulant medications. Finally, at 4:30 pm the incoming doctor said that although the neck was opened 9 cm, it was necessary to give birth. “With the second push I pushed my girl, unfortunately she was drunk, so I had to revive, but when everything was perfectly resolved by the wonderful team, my daughter was lying on my chest, next to the man, we all cried with joy. Then the doctor asked me to examine it and fix it. As soon as I got sick, rivers of blood began to flow. The man was expelled from the womb, the boy to the pediatric intensive care unit (because he had jaundice), the bleeding started to stop … As soon as he paused, the man came in, but I was bleeding again … consciousness . Unfortunately, I got disconnected over and over again. After giving birth, they injected me with three anesthetics, they manipulated me and I decided what was happening, all the doctors in the room and even the head of the hospital … Only 4 hours later I was able to stop the bleeding and transfuse blood. Covered in blisters that get hot (because it is very cold when transfusing blood plasma), 5 blankets, a man with med. An employee transported me through the hospital tunnels to the intensive care unit of the university hospital. In this room they poured blood and plasma on me for two days, trying to rebuild the body, the pressure was only 70/30 after giving birth. They fed me and washed me in the intensive care unit because I didn’t even have the strength to drink water. Finally, on the third day, when the doctors managed to restore my hemoglobin to 99, I was transported again to the postpartum ward, where after so many problems I was able to see and hold my daughter in my hands, ”said Karolina.

She spent another week in the hospital, the care was incredible, only the woman did not receive an explanation as to why this happened. “They told me that he had stopped clotting for unknown reasons. You know, although it was difficult, the dedication of the staff, the search for a way out, the decisions made make me happy so far, because I am alive, I am happy with my daughter for exactly four years and we are planning a second offspring ”, the woman smiled and added that he still remembers her at the hospital. .
