I almost died

Firstly congratulations on the birth of a little angel. Had you decided to have the baby at home only, of was it all of a sudden and could not got to the hospital. It must be awful losing so much blood. Im really glad you are well and taking it easy. Just be careful, for home deliveries can be dangerous. Here in India, we book the hospital bed in advance and go there around delivery time or earalier as the case may be. Its always better to have a delivery in the hospital for all the life saving equipments are ready and available. Good luck.

You've just had a baby? Congratulations! I never even knew you were expecting! It sounds like it was a terrible experience for you there, but all's well that ends well and I'm glad to hear that you're back home. I have thought I was going to die before, but it was because of a different situation entirely. I slipped down a steep mountainside once and came very close to falling over the edge into a ravine. I practically aged 50 years in a split second!

What a terrible experience. Poor you. Do rest up for the next six weeks and take things as easy as you can. Do you have a partner, relatives or friends who can help with the baby?

Congratulations on having a beautiful little girl, Maxi! I'm glad you're safely home to look after her now. I once had a really bad reaction to a blood transfusion and had to be ambulanced from our local hospital to Sydney. Silly me, I didn't think to push the buzzer, but just lay there feeling terrible and shaking and convulsing. When the nurse finally came in and noticed, it was panic stations! Now I can't donate blood, as I have alien antibodies in it.

OMG thats a bad incident for you. I pray for you please take care of your health above all the heavy stuff you have. How is you little dear, take care of her too. You have to take good balanced and healthy diet buddy. More over don't neglect treatment. Go for medication as often as possible. I have not faced such issues till now in my life. I have met with small accidents but they are not that much risky for my life. I am still unmarried so i would get some day to face this pain too. As i have said i am not married and don't think of those complications of life now. Whenever i find lady who is carrying i will advice them to take care of their health. And i don't think there is any wrong in giving some tips to them. Basically drinking of water in more quantities can prevent most of the labor pain and bleeding problem. I have heard this from my friends. They use to follow up this tip and had better deliveries. They are healthy after delivery and their babies are more healthy. Take care of your health. God bless your family..

Woah that's pretty intense. I'm thankful that you are okay! That's really a rough spot to be in!

Oh wow, how scary. My late grandmother had her 16 children at home, but I have no idea if she ever had a problem like yours. I'm glad you are going to make it. Please take care of yourself.

Hi maximax! I'm so sorry to hear your troubles but am relieved that you are ok and the baby is ok now. I think you're incredibly brave to have your child in the comfort of your home. I don't think I could ever do that. I was experiencing complications towards the end of my pregnancy and the doctors figured I was better in the hospital where me and the baby could be monitored at all times. Congratulations to you and your family!

I lost 4 liters of blood after my hysterectamie in 2003 doctor doesnt have any clue where it went lol but i was giving blood and released after they put a stent from my kidney to my bladder do to a blockage from a kidney stone :X

Congratulations! How many children does this make? I am glad that you survived your ordeal; you are very fortunate to have had access to treatment even if it was not the best. Good luck with your recovery!

hi. it is said that when a woman gives birth, one of her feet is already in the grave. i didnt understand that quote before but i do now. after giving birth, i became eclamptic (got a really high blood pressure 200/140) and i was in the hospital for nearly two weeks. the baby was home 2 days after i gave birth to her. but just thinking about it, God is great for giving me this second chance. i got to see her grow up to be a good responsible person and now she is married and i am a grandmother. isn't that wonderful? ann

oh, what a horrible experience you had, hope you get well soon and you definitely need to have a lot rest, well i had a rather funny experience in this matter, i was a small kid and i had climbed a huge rock and i was unable to get down from it, like they say getting down is tougher than climbing... so i was very worried about getting down, i was slowly landing my foot.... but there was no ground below and i could see the ground below as i was unable to look down, the ground was very low, it was just that i got very scared ... hehe... and then finally friends said it wasn't that big a drop and when i let my hands go and blippp...there i was.. it was so near and i was so afraid, that was funny, but it scared me very much that time, i thought i was going to die... m sorry i am giving a funny experience when you are so serious now, i don't mean to make fun of it!.... hope you understand... when i was clinging to the rock i was terribly scared! congratulations for the baby girl!

Before anything else, I would like to say I am happy you made it and you are okay now. No, I haven't been in a situation that almost cost me my life...and honestly, I do not know what to think or how to feel if I ever come to that point. What I do know is that, life can end that fast..unexpectedly. We can never tell or predict when our life is going to end...or how long are we expected to live. I think we should live each day like our last and enjoy what life has to offer. We should live the life we love and love the life we live.

OMG!! I can't believe all those things happened to you. I have never had a baby but man I hope that never happens to me. I would feel horrible. I am so sorry that you had to live through that. But hey the good thing is not you have a beautiful baby girl at home with you. So congratulations on the baby. I have had some feelings that I was going to die because I have had a an accident and just looking straight in to the headlights makes you think the worst things in your life. Well i hope you feel better by now. Talk to youlater happy mylotting maria

Oh my how horrible for you. I just congratulated you on your baby girl, and then I read this. I wish you the best, hope you feel better real soon. Take it easy and rest when you can.

WAS THIS baby born at home by choice, or were you unable to get to the hospital in time? If you chose to have the baby at home, why? In this day and age, that is a risky decision. Is the baby okay? You are lucky, and I hope if you have any more babies, you can get to a hospital in time to have the baby there. I am glad it turned okay in the end.

Goodness me what a time of it you have had. Congratulations on your daughter. I have had severe complications with my daughter. But it's money that I am haemorrhaging! She's 20 and it doesn't get any cheaper. Do take lots of care. I like to see you about and have missed you recently.

I am so glad you and your baby are doing well, this 6 weeks will give you a perfect time to bond with her. My life was never in danger from bearing children so I was very lucky that way.

sorry to hear you are not feeling well. you need to rest for the next six weeks to get better. Congradulation on a baby girl and glad your baby is doing fine. best wishes

That's one horrible treatment from a hospital. Glad it's over.... Congrats for the birth of your baby.. i wish you and the baby good health and good life.
