A mother has bravely opened up about her traumatic childbirth experience, revealing she almost died during labour – and her partner had to perform CPR to revive her.
The Nightmare Delivery
What should have been the happiest day of her life turned into a horror story when complications during delivery led to cardiac arrest. "One moment I was pushing, the next I was fading away," the woman recounted.
Partner's Quick Thinking Saved Lives
Her quick-thinking partner, who had basic first aid training, immediately sprang into action when medical staff noticed her deteriorating condition. "I remember seeing the panic in his eyes as he started chest compressions," she said.
System Failures in Maternity Care
The traumatic incident highlights growing concerns about:
- Staffing shortages in NHS maternity units
- Emergency response protocols
- Post-birth maternal monitoring
Road to Recovery
After spending days in intensive care, the mother is now recovering but continues to deal with both physical and psychological scars from the ordeal. "I'm just grateful to be alive to watch my baby grow," she said tearfully.
Her story serves as a stark reminder of the very real dangers women still face during childbirth, even in modern healthcare systems.
