🩸 A test of faith.
We had a 28-year-old G5P2 (2032), with a history of three previous miscarriages, including a molar pregnancy, who came in for delivery. She had an unremarkable labor and a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery.
But during the 3rd stage of labor, everything suddenly changed. She developed massive postpartum hemorrhage secondary to uterine atony. Despite uterotonics and all medical measures given, the bleeding remained uncontrolled. We had to make the difficult decision to proceed with an emergency hysterectomy to save her life.
She required massive transfusion support and was admitted to the ICU postoperatively for close monitoring.
Thankfully, both mother and baby are now well and healthy. ❤️ After a week in the hospital, our patient was finally able to go home.
There are moments in this profession when we honestly ask ourselves if we still want to continue. There are times when the stress, the responsibility, and the emotional weight become overwhelming—especially when a life is literally in our hands, and the outcome can change within minutes.
But cases like this remind us why we chose this profession in the first place. It reminds us of the privilege and responsibility of being entrusted with someone's life, and how important it is to remain calm, make timely decisions, and do everything we can when it matters most.
We are deeply thankful to God for the gift of life, for the wisdom and strength to make the right decisions when every second counts, and for the entire team who stood together to save our patient. 🙏🏻
To our patient and her family, thank you for trusting us during one of the most difficult moments of your lives. ❤️ Mother and baby are both safe and healthy—and for that, we are endlessly grateful.
Every life saved is a reminder of why we do what we do. 🙏🏻
