      It is not the modern time for nothing. Many of these situations can be avoided by a C-section. You don't leave someone in labor for 30 hours !!!!!!! What was that OB/Gyn doing ? performing scheduled procedures ? What was going on ? Did she forget about that poor woman, exhausted by likely a non productive labor ? what the Hell ?

      My labor was so fast, I was so fortunate. By the time I realized I was actually having my baby (a week before his due date) I got to the hospital and was 6cm dilated. 2 hours later I was pushing. I can’t fathom 30 hours.

      This happened with my son in 2022. Lost 2 litters of blood within mins after giving birth. . I was so scared that I didn’t hold my baby for a good 20 minutes. The moment when you realize somethings wrong, and everyone in the room is panicking, I saw my life before my eyes. Good thing the doctors quickly gave me Pitocin to slow my bleeding and removing the rest of the placenta . Sadly, it was extremely traumatizing. I won’t be having any more kids after that experience. This is heartbreaking.😢

Went to icu didn't think she was going to make it.. but she pulled thru just hit the 3 year mark of that happening . I'm still affected by it today.. she does not remember a thing but I sure do.

      My first was 42 hours. And my water had already broken at the 4-hour mark. Would've been longer, but at the 36-hour mark, I demanded pitocin to move things along and an epidural (no pain relief up to that point). I was very lucky that nothing worse happened.

    • @psychlover42
      @psychlover42 Місяць тому +235

      Maternal RN here. 30hrs isn't an absurd amount of time for a first delivery. Labor can progress as long as her water is still intact or mom and baby are otherwise doing well. After a long time with her water broken then they might recommend a c/s to prevent her from getting chorioamnionitis (or they might start her on antibiotics and try for a vaginal delivery), but a long labor isn't an automatic indication for a c/s unless the patient requests it or is too tired to proceed with the remaining labor. An AFE is RARE and SUDDEN. There is no preventing it. A bubble of baby's amniotic fluid enters mom's blood stream via the capillaries between the uterus and placenta, then her body treats it like a foreign object, having a reaction to it.

    Poor family. I had my empirical cord torn during labor. Im thankful i have my life and my daughter is doing well after she almost bleed to death and was drowning in my blood and her own. She was lifeflighted to a bigger hospital in Pittsburgh and i owe them for saving her. Giving birth is seriously traumatic to a womens body and mind. Please take care of the mommas to be.

    This man needs to consult a lawyer to determine EXACTLY at what point in the labor process the AFE (Amniotic Fluid Embolus) occurred. I’m wondering if his wife was receiving some medicine to stimulate labor and was possibly getting too much. If anyone knows him, tell him to investigate.

    • @nathannorton3046
      @nathannorton3046 Місяць тому +36

      I agree. After a certain point, the next step after a long labour would be to opt for C-Section. It could’ve been a safer alternative for both Mom & Baby. I know every situation is different & we’re not doctors, but this seems like it could’ve been prevented. The family should possibly get a lawyer to investigate this as safer measures could’ve been taken. This could also lead to more needed research about this unfortunate AFE occurrence.

We talked about a C-section but I said no. I did not want to have a major surgery. I ended up having my daughter a few minutes later. Child birth is so scary. My thoughts are with the family.

      Amniotic fluid crosses onto mothers' bodies all the time. At any given moment, about 50% of pregnant women will have traces of it and fetal cells in their bloodstream. Medication almost certainly wasn't the problem.
      The issue isn't the presence of the fluid...it's the unknown and extremely rare trigger that suddenly provokes respiratory and blood clotting responses.
      I am an AFE survivor. We need research, understanding, and treatment options. AFE is so rare that most OB's go their entire career without seeing it. Blaming the hospital will do nothing to advance the cause of research and education that we need.

    My heart aches for you, and I passionately support your goal to get more research for AFE.
    I am an amniotic fluid embolism survivor. In 2005, against all odds, I became one of the 5% of sufferers who walked away with comparatively minor consequences. 80% of my fellow sufferers that year died.
    AFE strikes in an instant. For me, one breath I was fine; the next, I had no lungs. Completely respiratory collapse as quickly as you can blink. I survived because I had a profoundly gifted doctor close by who diagnosed me and started treatment in less than a minute. And we were exceptionally lucky.
    This condition destroys lives. We desperately need more research and better education for all medical practitioners to protect future families.
    All my love.
