Doesn't wrong when people mention that the birth mother's life is at stake. A young mother has to have two heart attacks and 6.6 liters of blood loss at delivery her second son. Luckily, the mother can safely and returned home after 2-day coma.
At birth, Fiona Moore (25 years) suffering from amniotic embolism, a condition that only affects 1 in 10,000 births in the world, that is leaking fluid from her womb and into the body. Embolism trigger a heart attack two times in a row and cause haemorrhaging (bleeding) great in her womb.
During labor, Fiona is also in a coma for two days, which makes 30 doctors and nurses struggled to save her life and the lives of tiny babies. Doctors even have to 'restart' heart when it stops beating.
Now, two weeks after the ordeal, the young mother returned with her little family gathered in the Wood End, Coventry, with her husband Wayne Hitchman (28 years) and his first son, Travis (2.5 years)
"A doctor sitting at the end of the hospital bed and told me that my condition is really making everyone scared. When he told me what had happened, she started crying and I cried too," explains Fiona Moore.
Fiona said that her gratitude was not enough for all physicians and midwives who have helped him, because they not only saved his life but also her baby.
Incident began when Quinn left the University Hospital Coventry, on December 21, 2011 and then to give birth induction. At first all goes as planned, but the next day, his heart stopped.
"Fiona is struggling to breathe so we helped her, but her whole face began to turn blue. They called the emergency team began performing CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or cardiac resuscitation). I heard one midwife said 'he's not breathing'. I started to mess. But there were 30 people there who are struggling to save her, "said her husband, Wayne Hitchman.
Quinn was rushed to the operating room and within 20 minutes the doctor can help her give birth to healthy babies, which they named Wesley. He was then taken to a special care unit as a precaution, while surgeons fought to stop the massive internal bleeding.
He lost 6.6 liters of blood and lay in a coma for two days before finally regained consciousness on Christmas Eve. Wesley was born safely even considered a miracle because at first child birth in 2008, doctors told Quinn will not be able to have another child.
"This is a fantastic team effort. I do not think there are many people in the hospital that night. For two days we were not sure he would succeed. It was very emotional. No one wants these beautiful babies are left without a mother," said consultant obstetrician , Professor Siobhan Quenby.
