What happened

I had an easy and healthy pregnancy, free even of most “regular” pregnancy issues. I completed 41 weeks without any sign of labor, so I went to the hospital to try to have a natural delivery (induced). I really wanted a natural delivery, since my first son (who is now 2 years and 9 months old) was born by c-section, due to being in breech position. During the induced labor, after having reached 5 centimeters of dilation, I felt something strange in my womb—a sharp and prolonged contraction that made me think I was reaching the end of the process. Later I learned that what happened was that my uterus couldn’t handle the pressure and had ruptured.
After the rupture I started losing a lot of blood, but I wasn’t aware of what was happening. I was feeling disoriented and I didn’t notice that anything was wrong—I thought the pain and other feelings were part of the normal labor process. It was all very sudden and fast. I had to undergo an emergency c-section and get a blood transfusion, because my blood pressure was so low. They had to pull Alina as quickly as possible and they took her away and did all they could to revive her, but their attempts were unsuccessful. Thanks to the Lord, and to the fast action of my medical team (including my good friend “Morango”), I survived, but unfortunately Alina didn’t make it and passed away. The moment they took her from me I started crying because I just knew in my heart that she hadn’t survived. The Lord wanted to be the first one to tell me.
