How I Survived A Near Fatal Birth | My Emotional Traumatic Birth Story | Lauren Stewart

Hello friends. Today I’m sharing my experience with a Full Placental Abruption. I’m sorry ahead of time for the emotional state, it was just really hard, much harder than I though to sit and dig up all the details. Dawson is my 3rd baby and we literally thought he had died during the massive hemorrhage my body was experiencing. I had never even heard of the terms “fetal demise” or “placental abruption” before this event. Bare with me as I share my experience with you.

I’m a retired labor and delivery RN and it is a pure miracle that your baby is alive. Babies just don’t survive complete placental abruptions!! I’m in total shock! You definitely have a guardian Angel looking over you!!

[@LaurenStewart]

Thank you so so much!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@kadenhiggins9338]

@@LaurenStewart you’re so welcome! Your son definitely has a special life ahead of him! Not sure if you’re religious or not but I think God has a special plan for him!!

Or great doctor.

[@aawsslots6936]

I had a plenceta abruption at 24weeks pregnant, age of 20. I woke in the night blood everywhere, I went to the hospital and because babys heart beat was fine they thought everything was fine. 1 week later I was producing breast milk every 3 hours. I went back to the hospital to no heartbeat could be found. I had to deliver my baby at 25weeks. (Stillborn). Only when they did the postmortem they found my placenta came away and my baby was starved of oxygen causing his death. He should of turned 5 on feb 3rd.I'm so glad you and your baby are okay. Such a blessing ❤

[@emgmin]

As a therapist, I would strongly encourage you to seek out trauma therapy from a trauma therapist (if you haven't already). It can help so much! Especially since ya'll are trying again! You can work through this. You can heal. You are so strong. You've been through so much!

[@heyitsjules2495]

As an OB nurse I 100% agree with this

[@Lowdermoomoo]

What’s crazy for me is that I went to a trauma therapist when my daughter was around 2 and I had a similar experience but it was for other trauma, I didn’t even realize it was traumatic or a big deal until now and it’s been almost 5 years. I realized why I get so defensive when people ask me if im having more kids and I think of being pregnant again. Accepting it is hard, and I think it’s even harder to get help sometimes but it’s worth it. I’ve been thinking about going back because I’ve just now started to really feel it and I never talked about it or processed it.

[@IAmErica-qv7wj]

Unfortunately, I had the same thing happen to me. And I want to preface this by saying, the day before all of this happened, I went into the hospital with severe back labor, but I didn't know i was having contractions because instead of sending me to labor and delivery, they kept me in the emergency room and accused me of drug seeking because I asked for something to relieve the immense pain I was in..I was 26 wks pregnant, and I had woken to, what I thought was my water breaking, so my sister called an ambulance. I get to the hospital and they test the fluid I thought was my water, and they said that it wasn't from my water breaking, that they didn't know what it was. They do an ultrasound and tell me my placenta is bruised, and that they were going to send me home on bed rest. A few minutes later, I felt what felt like a big pop and pull, I pull my sheet up, and I was drenched in blood from my thighs to my feet. My doctor comes in, makes me sign a form for permission to do an emergency c-section. I asked if I could call my mom to let her know, and she said "no, you do not have time, you're going to die!" After that, All I can remember is the doctor pushing really hard my belly. After I woke up, I found out that I had a uterine abruption and that my uterus was filled with blood clots so they had to give me a hysterectomy and had give me 4 pints of blood. That all could have been avoided, had the hospital sent me to labor and delivery to check on my baby, when I went in with horrible back pain, and my pulse was 140. I was in the hospital for 2 week's. My daughter survived abs was 1lb 14oz 13 inches long. She was in nicu for 4 months. That was 11 years ago.

[@tinkerbell7435]

For real? I am soo sorry this happened to you

[@racheleast2558]

Wow amazing story!

[@BritanniaWay]

Wow! That's a scary story. So glad it worked out for you and baby. My mother had a similar experience with the birth of my sister. She was 2lbs2oz very tiny under developed lungs. They almost lost her 3 or 4 times in those first few months. She is now 25 years old! ❤️

[@claireashley427]

26 weeks and 1lb 14 oz..wow! Truly a miracle she survived! Miracle you both survived! Sounds like a horribly scary and traumatic experience but I'm so happy your story had a happy ending and you and your girl are okay!❤❤

[@erynlasgalen1949]

They were so worried about someone getting painkillers that they almost let a woman and child die. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? I think you might have had grounds for a lawsuit there. I'm glad you both came through it.

[@maddie1495]

I had a placental abruption at 37weeks 19hours into a very difficult labor with my 4th baby, by the time they got her out the placenta was over 85% detached. It's been almost a year and I still can't talk about it without getting emotional and overwhelmed. Hearing her heartbeat fade away on the monitor while my nursing was freaking out trying to help me is something I'll never forget. It happened so fast I was in shock, from the moment they found the abruption to the time baby was out was about a minute. My husband didn't even know what was happening and didn't even get to be in the room. I thankfully was put under for my C-section because I didn't have an epidural yet, and I woke up 3 hours later receiving blood transfusions and I didn't get to meet my daughter until she was 24 hours old and in the NICU. So thankful to have my daughter here today almost a year old completely healthy and safe, but it's still very traumatic when I think back to that day!!

[@turtles02]

Mama Doctor Jones should react to this! I’m so glad you and Dawson is ok

[@samanthasprague3296]

[@glorialara447]

I am shaking hearing your story. I also had a traumatic birth. I was full term and my daughter couldn't be saved. She was perfectly healthy. I ve been having nightmares for the last 5 months.

This is such medical trauma. I had similar emergency c section birth situation with my first child. I was depressed for a year and traumatized. It was 1997. I wish there was you tube back then. I never thought of getting a counselor. I had no support really. Im so glad you and baby dawson are fine and survived. what an absolute miracle ❤❤ thank you for your vulnerability and sharing. You help others by sharing. Thank you!!

[@kayladavis6511]

Thank you for sharing your story we had a full placental abruption at 28 weeks my doctor's were able to save me but not my baby girl after test confirmed I had developed HELLP SYNDROME it was causing my kidneys to shut down and platelets bottom out so was just bleeding perfusly inside my uterus . We went on to have a healthy baby girl 2 years later under highly watched specialist care

[@LaurenStewart]

Oh wow I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through that! I’m so thankful you have your baby girl!!!!!!

[@heyitsjules2495]

What a miracle. I’m an OB nurse and I’ve seen things like this happen and it’s a traumatizing emergency. I’m so glad you were where you were when this happened and you’re both here and healthy!

There is no doubt in my mind that Heavenly Father has you put into the room right next to the OR. I am so thankful for your strength to share this story. You are a strong women and I love watching your family on IG.

[@LaurenStewart]

I truly truly agree with you 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@alexslade6010]

Lauren Stewart like when you are describing how they kept passing the rooms and you got put so far away I kept thinking oh no why would they do that? And then when you said that your room was right across from the OR I just cried. Like what a blessing and it’s so amazing how Heavenly Father worked through the nurses to put you where you needed to be!

[@birdeyes200]

They probably already had a feeling she would need to go to OR , especially since they were breaking her water.

[@tonyahay2157]

This story really hit home for me. I too have PCOS and was put on clomid to get pregnant. After a devastating miscarriage, I got pregnant again and had to be rushed in to an emergency c section because his heart rate dropped so low. He was in NICU for two weeks while they tested him for leukemia. Luckily, it was all negative and he has grown into an awesome 7 year old. Love your channel and my heart is there with you.

[@missm1632]

[@LaurenStewart]

Thank you so so much. I appreciate your sweet words!

[@demetradecember205]

I, too, developed PTSD from the birth of my first child. It was supposed to be a Peaceful, spiritual, gentle birth experience. It turned into a horror show, with 6 tall male EMTs in my tiny bedroom, me naked on all fours, with an incision cutting through all the muscles in my pelvic floor. I am so grateful that I didn't hear the head midwife saying, "Dear Jesus, I think we're going to lose him." He just turned 31 years old, but that whole horrible birth experience and thinking he had died due to complications, which I won't go into, haunted me for years afterwards. At the time, I didn't know there was something called post-partum traumatic stress disorder. If I knew back then, what I know now, I would have opted for a C-section in the hospital for high risk pregnancies. I'm so glad we have the internet now and can connect to other people going through the same thing. There is so much more information available and accessible now.

[@lilcricket641]

We live in MD too. Very close to DC. My daughter had a placental abruption at 32 weeks and she had an amazing Doctor that was able to save both her and and my grandson. He is 7 months old today and doing fantastic! This was her regular doctor. I’m so happy everything worked out for you. It is truly a terrifying situation. Fortunately for my daughter, her doctor figured out it was an abruption before the placenta completely detached and was able to have her into the operating room, get her a spinal and get the baby out within 15.

[@LaurenStewart]

Oh my goodness. I am so so glad to hear of that outcome for your family.

[@suseq949]

@@LaurenStewart Do you think the doctor should have realized the severity of the bleeding when the nurse called her in initially? How much time elapsed from when Dr left your room until they all came rushing in to take you for c-section?

[@mariasoliz1487]

I had the same thing happen to me but my son was already coming out. So one nurse was on top of me pushing him out the doctor was pulling it was a crazy scene. I was dying. I could see the room getting dark was like a circle closing in on me. And I could feel my soul being sucked out of my body. I could feel the detachment I was coming out of my body. My son was so blue he was black. But we are both here praise God

Oh Lauren. God had you and Dawson in his hands that day. He set up everything up in such a way that you and your sweet miracle baby would still be here with us today. I can't even imagine everything you've been through. I remember you sharing on IG last year and we had a brief conversation through messages. It's so good to hear your story and see all of the ways that God worked a miracle that day, but whew, it's not easy to listen to. I've been through a somewhat traumatizing experience with the end of one of my pregnancies as well and the pain is still so raw for me 5 years later, so I know that your emotions are completely normal and it's not easy to talk about. Give yourself some grace mama. It's okay to be emotional about it. You are so strong! So many hugs to you and Dawson!

I am going through my house this weekend in preparation for movers to come on Wednesday, so I put your video on to listen to as I cleaned out my 'Monica Gellar closet' and WHOOO am I glad I just listened. 100% sure I would have laid on the floor in a puddle for the rest of the day if I'd watched your body language and facial expressions. So glad for the medical staff you had, so glad you went to the hospital as soon as you had regular contractions, but so so so broken hearted for the experience you had and the trauma you're having to live with and heal from. You're incredibly strong, so sorry that you've had to be! When Dawson encounters struggles as he gets older, you can whip out the story of his birth to remind him that he's strong, worthy and *supposed* to be here.

The fact that you were so brave and shared your birth story for everyone to see is going to save lives someday.

[@treehousefarm7113]

I'm so sorry you went through this. I had what the Dr's believed was a placental abruption until my pathology came back. I actually had a uterine blood vessel rupture and was bleeding to death. Soaked in blood and it puddled around my feet. I was 34 weeks and at home. Then paramedics thought all the blood was mixed with water thinking my water had broken. Tests showed no fluid and confirmed it was all blood. My tummy was so hard trying to stop the bleeding. I was so cold and floating in the ambulance. Praise Jesus my baby had a heart rate at the hospital. They even paged the hospital over the intercom for anyone needing to see me to rush to my room (while they waited the 5 minutes for the test). That was extremely scary for my family....and I don't even remember it. They got my baby out quickly and in nicu for 2 weeks. I was in for 5 days. What a miracle she is. What a miracle God did in saving us both. I developed ptsd. After 3 years I finally sought treatment. I did EMDR and it helped me a lot. I have gone on to have 4 VBAC deliveries. I have had to go back for therapy a few times. I still have triggers. It's a journey to find peace and healing. I pray for you....you're a warrior. 🙏

With my first daughter, we went from an all natural water birth, to me being put to sleep for an emergency section to save both our lives. It was rough and scary. I don’t think I have allowed myself to feel what happened. I just push the thoughts away. Probably not the best way to cope. I am so thankful that your situation turned ok.

[@mrcarterpro1818]

I just gave birth 2 weeks ago to my 3rd birthday. I had two precious uncomplicated vafinak deliceries and assumed it would be the same with my 3rd. However, after 30 hours of labor I started hemorrhaging and was rushed into an emergency c-section. I was put under general anesthesia and the moments before were some of the scariest of my life. As they were putting me under I was begging them to not let us die. I’ve never felt that before. Turns out, I only had a partial placental abruption (thankfully) and both baby and I were okay. I did lose a lot of blood though. It’s been 2 weeks and trying to procsss the trauma of this has been so hard. The what if’s keep replaying in my mind.

I'm due to have my second baby in May 2021. I had a fear of this and dying with my first pregnancy but thank God it never happened(even though I had to be augmentated due to my waters being broken and strep b positive. They couldn't let me continue laboring on my own so they gave me pitocin). I really hope my second birth goes even smoothier if that's possible. All natural no intervention..no trauma. I was in a car accident this year at 13 weeks pregnant and I think that's enough trauma. I'm thankful I'm alive and my baby. I pray everyday that this birth will go smoothly. I don't need anymore surprises. 2020 has just been full of them...I'm sure it has been for many. If you don't mind me asking do they know what could of caused the placenta to detach ? Your so brave for trying for another. I envy you cause lately my anxiety has been through the roof and I have no reason to be so afraid of childbirth. I hope that your fourth birth goes really smooth for you. 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

Haha but nothing compared to what some go thru. So glad you are here today to tell your journey. Dawson is adorable and I love watching your family grow here and on IG. 💜

[@verakatterfeld3075]

Wow! I cant even imagine what that must have been like😢 Im so happy both you and your baby are okay!

[@LaurenStewart]

Thank you 😭😭😭😭

[@one_ice_cold_chiq]

OMG I can't imagine. I had an emergency c section but not like this. It is very traumatizing and I don't think ppl realize just how bad it can be. I'm so glad you and your little one are OK!

[@QUEENBEE200384]

I live in Maryland also. And has a partial abruption. I was luckily at Johns Hopkins. I had to receive two blood transfusions. I’m so happy you and you son are okay. But sad that you had to go through that as well. You’re blessed.

[@canyonflowers]

So happy you both made it through. Thank you for sharing your story. Why did not going to meet the doctor not go well? I didn't see the video linked. Much love mama! You have a new subscriber!

I had a placental abruption in July 2020. I was in nursing school at the time, and I was at clinical when I started bleeding. I think back to that night and early morning all the time. So sorry you went through this. It’s such a traumatic experience, but you’re a strong mama. I too wonder what would’ve happened if I wasn’t already at the hospital when it happened.

[@LaurenStewart]

I am so so glad you were in the hospital!! That is how I feel as well. The blessing of actually being inside the hospital when this happened.

[@rachellecasner2017]

I have a very very similar story. My son is now 5 years old, and I still have ptsd from it. I also hemorrhaged again at home 7 days after we got home after the birth. So it was like reliving it all over again a week later. Both my husband and I are still mentally recovering. BUT we did have one more child and had a planned c section. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The doctor was so amazing and understanding of our previous history. Wishing you well with your next

[@Nadine_IBRfarms]

Wow thankyou so much for sharing.

[@amyroberts4867]

I had placental Abruption as well but not a complete. But I did hemorrhage in the OR. Thank god you and your baby are ok!!! ♥️

[@christinapharand8858]

My 3rd birth was simular minus the bleeding right down to pouring the bottle of iodine all over my body. No heartbeat for 6 minutes and I was rushed into the ER and he was out so fast, crying and peed on the dr and I suffered afterwards with the fear I had in that very moment of me leaving my babies. I had 2 vaginal so I didn't expect this at all ❤🙏

[@misssjw]

I’m 26 weeks pregnant, whyyyy are KZbin recommending this stuff to me?! 😱😭 congratulations on making it through - I echo everyone else, I would totally recommend seeing a professional to work through this x

[@LaurenStewart]

So sorry my video popped up for you! My delivery was NOT a normal or common thing. Yours will be amazing.

[@allisonbaker6919]

Oh my goodnes💖 your AMAZING!

[@k.r.6697]

I suffered a traumatic surgical experience as well - I started internally haemorrhaging and was vomiting up all of my blood. I was rushed back into the operating room and was intubated while still awake while having been tied down. When I woke up 5 days later I woke up on a ventilator with what felt like a million tubes coming out of me… an NG tube, a PEG tube… as well as a few others and a central line through my neck. I was in the hospital 15 days I believe. I still can’t process it 2.5 years later. I wanted you to know, I understand, my heart goes out to you - sending you love.

[@topsi91]

Wow that sound like a horror story.. I am so sorry this happened, but I am happy you and your precious little baby are ok at the end. I hope there are no consequences (its the first video of you I am watching)

[@LaurenStewart]

Thankfully two years now and he is growing beautifully! Such a joy. He has the most fun personality and we cannot imagine life without him.

[@paprikaasmr3420]

Thankful you are both okay 💕💕

[@LaurenStewart]

me too!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@ayeshaabdullatif9293]

I'm sorry that you had to go through it😞😞😞💔💔💔. At least both you and baby are oki

[@heatherschul7673]

Oh wow! My first (so far only) birth experience in January of this year was pretty bad, and it can be hard because most people don’t understand. I went without an epidural, and my little man ended up getting shoulder dystosia really bad. It was super traumatic and honestly like violent having 4 nurses and the doctor trying to get the baby out, and when he finally came out everyone including my husband thought he was a still birth, and I was so exhausted and in so much pain I was fading in out of consciousness so I had no idea what was even going on. It was ridiculously brutal in my opinion, and I’ve had so many people tell me, “oh that’s pretty normal”, or “ that isn’t so bad”, and it honestly makes you feel like you’re a pathetic mom or something. I really struggled for the first month or so after he was born. I can only imagine going through what you did my god! It definitely takes a strong woman to share something so vulnerable and traumatic, so thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@LaurenStewart]

oh my goodness sakes. I am so so sorry you went through that!!! Blessyou sweet mama.

[@urssullas]

Glad you and the baby are fine. My 1st delivery was even worse than this. 18 hrs labor, emergency C section. Bedridden for 6 weeks, such strong antibiotics that I lost all my hair as I had peritonitis. Not fun.

[@kinsley5027]

Sis you’re so STRONG! God had His hands on you just like he had my sister in His hands during her placenta abruption! My nephew was born extremely premature and he had amniotic band syndrome.. he lost his leg and big toe on the other leg! My sister and nephew almost lost their life.. the doctors came out and told us that we needed to prepare to say our goodbyes! She had an emergency C-section and the baby went straight to the nicu! God is FAITHFUL, long story short my nephew is 12 years old and God is using him in church on the bongos! He amazes us every day!

[@rachaelduardo1923]

Omg you’re so brave an amazing mother woman xxxx🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@LaurenStewart]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@tammyroberts4272]

I am so sorry you had to go through this. My daughter just had this happen to her Sept 29 2021 she delivered my grandson at 35 weeks he was born with no heart beat. Unfortunately her placenta abruption (full) she was bleeding internally and the hospital she went was not a L&D. Bless your family.

[@LaurenStewart]

I am so so sorry to hear that!!

[@HylyJrdn]

I am so sorry you went through this, I could not imagine. The Lord has his hands on you and your sweet baby! Are you seeing a counselor for therapy? If you’re not, I hope that you will. You experienced severe trauma both physically and mentally. Love and prayers. ❤️

[@sallyrussell8180]

Please stop apologizing for crying while telling your heartbreaking story. You are incredible! A real hero! I'm so glad your doctor was so incredible. Having worked L&D, your birth story is truly is a miraculous birth; please believe that.

[@ayeshaabdullatif9293]

Thank God you made it 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
