As a labor and delivery nurse, I always tell my patients “I trust you and your body more than any monitor” and I’m sorry your nurse didn’t advocate for you! I hope you can heal from this traumatic experience and bond with your daughter ❤

I'm in tears. They almost killed this woman and her baby. I can't imagine how hard her postpartum recovery has been. God bless her, her baby, and her family.

Birth is so wild. - We've had two planned C-Sections - I think its awesome you shared your story! I'm glad all three of you are doing good!

Sara, I think this is malpractice. A missed diagnosis of staph infection (the system sepsis of staph must have a source) led to that unnecessary laparoscopic operation. The abdominal procedure induced your pre-term labour. The doctors and nurses were not ready/prepared for your labour. All there could have been avoided.

53 minutes of you telling us about how you are a real life super hero. So glad baby is healthy and you are getting back to your normal self!

People become so reliant on tech that they don't use their common sense. Thanks grandma for getting her the help she OBVIOUSLY needed.

I was born at 29 weeks 40 years ago. My mother had a heart attack and her lungs filled with fluid while trying to keep me inside of her. For 2 weeks, she gasped for every breath. She was always my biggest warrior. I lost her in 2021 to Alzheimer's. I will always be grateful for her and how much she loved and fought for my life. Your daughter will feel the same way about you. God bless you and your family.

I was a labor and delivery nurse for 36 years and I am absolutely appalled at the way you were treated. I cannot imagine seeing a woman who is clearly laboring and looking at the monitor and saying “you’re not contracting.”.
You were treated terribly. By people who have no business being around laboring women.

You are not the 0.001% women are ignored, gaslit, and disregarded by health care professionals every minute of every day. The circumstances and outcomes are unique to you and your situation but it is happening all the time. Thank you and your Mum for being a voice for those not being heard.

[judyengela]

Absolutely insane. A “congrats” doesn’t feel appropriate for surviving a near-death experience. Your little Baby Peach is so lucky to have you and your family.

They should make this video required study material for maternity doctors and nurses. So much patient and family perspective and insight. Tq for sharing.

[cerebralideas]

I wish I could give more, but I just want to show support in a way that's more than a thumbs up and comment. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you and yours the best.

I was born at 25 weeks, weighing 1 lb 12 oz. I am now almost 29 years old and I work as a pediatric occupational therapist, living a healthy and wonderfully fulfilling life. Like my mom.. you are a superhero. Your daughter is a fighter; small but mighty. Wishing you and your family a lifetime of transformational growth and peace

[ShaoVideoProduction]

No part of that ever sounded silly.
I sounded real and traumatic.
I now understand why people often call mothers warriors, you absolutely deserve that title.
Wishing all the best to you and your family, your mom and husband gave their all and did amazing by the sounds of it.

[smidgen]

god i'm so glad both you and baby survived and recovered, this has to be one of the scariest stories i've ever heard in my life. and to think the careless OB and nurses that were "treating" you that night face zero consequences for causing you to unnecessarily go through this experience. they could've given you a C-section long before the birth canal entrance with pain meds but they just ignored your contractions. unconscionable.

[meagen]

As a L&D nurse, I’m so very sorry you experienced that kind of disregard. My heart goes out to you, and I applaud the bravery of you, your mom and your husband ❤

[Sachin_Kashyap]

As a man, nothing has ever made respect a woman more. I cried twice during this, I am glad baby Peach is doing great! I am gonna call my mom and tell her thank you for bringing me into this world. Thanks Sara! and John! What a GREAT man!

Hi Sara. I am a Student Registered Nurse with an interest in Midwifery from Australia. First of all, I want to thank you so very much for sharing your story. You are so incredibly strong and I am so glad you and your family are well. But second, I am SO incredibly sorry you had to go through this. So much of what you went through is textbook 101 do NOT put a patient through this. I am so very hopeful that you are able to heal from this experience. Thank you for sharing this story to educate myself and others on what not to put a mother through. All my love to you and yours.

[myron]

That doctor and nurse almost killed you. I'm so sorry you went through all that Sara

As soon as you said John was your calm, and you started to tear up, is when your story sent me on an emotional rollercoaster.
I can't even imagine the pain and fear you went through. It seems silly to compare, or think ones labor is worse or better that another's, because we all deserve to feel validated for what we experience during L&D. I thought my daughter's pregnancy and labor were crazy, but this really is so terrifying. For months, women imagine how their birth stories will go and hoping it will play out how we would want it to go.
I would say this teeters on medical neglect and could (and should) be seen through legally. Not just for your sake, but for future women that will be treated by those specific providers. We live in a country that should offer better medical care and coverage, and to not put us in mountains of debt, but that's not the case for so many people.
