I almost died

i am so sorry to hear about what is happening to you... glad that you are alright now... just take lots of rest and take it easy with everything... congratulations for having a beautiful baby girl... i believe she will be the joy of your life... enjoy your precious time looking after your baby and taking care of yourself as well... have a nice day...

Wow, that's really a memorable experience for you maximax8. There was a time when I did think I would die. About nine years ago I was admitted in the hospital for something that resembled dengue. It was the dengue season then, but since the doctor's couldn't really pinpoint exactly what I was sick of, they couldn't just park me together with the dengue fever patients. I just felt so weak and I would faint if I walked or stood up for longer than 5 minutes. I just felt like my heart was giving up on me. Odd enough, it turned out to be food poisoning (long term). Anyway, I hope your baby is doing well and I hope you are also feeling better.:)

Oh my gosh! That sounds like it was so scary! I am glad you survived and your baby is ok. Resting for six weeks with two kids may be harder than you think. Good luck!
Did you do the birth at home on purpose or did she just arrive that fast?
Feel better soon!

Hello friend, maximax. I am so sorry to hear the dangerous situation you had in the course of delivering the dear little baby girl, but I am very glad for the arrival of the little baby girl of yours. Here in my country, women usually go to hospitals to give birth to their babies for safety nowadays. I wish you to have a good rest at home with someone taking good care of you and your baby. Take care, maximax.

I never had any babies yet, but there's a time in my life when I thought I was going to die. I also had experienced blood transfusions and I'm so in patient to see it just dripping bit by bit coz I'm really anxious to go home, lol. That was during my heart surgery. I received atleast 20 bags in total... in just 2.5 months of being in the hospital... and my recovery lasted for a year until all the wounds in my chest have been healed, although I'm a bit limited when it comes to certain physical activities upto now, lol. But I'm so happy I survived, happily married with my husband... and my next ordeal, for sure is having a baby... but I'm more than willing to go through it.

I am so glad that everything turned out ok for you. I am sure that in time this will be a distant memory to you. I had two traumatic births and still suffer complications from my last baby, but it was all worthwhile.

My goodness. First and foremost - I'm happy you are still alive! I am so sorry that happened to you. Was it a planned homebirth or accidental? I'm curious, since I'm a doula and have had 1 homebirth myself and assisted several. Did you have someone to assist you in the delivery? You poor thing - how scary. 2.5 liters is WAY too much blood to lose.

If you are still really emotionally wrecked by the experience after several weeks, please don't hesitate to see a therapist/counselor. Post-traumatic stress disorder can happen with things like this.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby, and I hope you are feeling 100% very soon.

First of all let me congratulate me on having a little angel.
It is very sorry to hear that you have lost lot of blood and have to be admitted to the hospital but thank God you are now OK and hopefully take good care of yourself and your baby.
You should have delieverd in a hospital as they are fully equipped with life saving instruments and are always ready to meet any unexpected eventuality.
When i was pregnant .i had to lie on bed for almost 7 months due to severe complications and i had to undergo cesarean operation.My son was born only 1.5 kg and was practically very week and feeble.I was totally depressed and devastated but after the first sight of my darling,i forgot all my pains and sufferings and started off afresh.

Oh what an awful trauma. However, I admire your courage and sense of determination. You will get better, don't worry just have faith. I've thought of death till now. In fact, I am very scared to think of it. To me when I tried to think of death it's like I can feel the pain of dying and this makes me very uncomfortable.

That must have been pretty scary! I thought about having my last child at home but my husband (who is actually trained to deliver babies) said "no way". Turns out he was right. I ended up with a C-section because our daughter was breech and completely tangled and wrapped up in her cord. The doctor had a difficult time getting her out.

I have never really thought I was going to die. I guess the closest time was when I was in a rollover car accident on my 16th birthday. It was scary but I escaped with no injuries thankfully!
