Long post ahead.
Meet our Miracle Baby!
A very special gift from the Almighty in the most miraculous way! The couple underwent IVF treatment before the imminent possibility of loosing the wife’s uterus. We transferred 2 embryos and both successfully implanted but at around 10 weeks of pregnancy, one embryo lost its heartbeat 😭 With so much hope and prayers the pregnancy was carried on with utmost monitoring giving the patient all that she needed to somehow ensure that the remaining embryo will survive. But at around 25-26 weeks of pregnancy, the bag of water ruptured!!! And after a few days of medical treatment, the umbilical cord prolapse spontaneously 🤯 We performed an emergency cesarean section just like residency training days with all stress and emotions involved whenever we have cord prolapse (only obstetricians will understand) 😢
And now here she is, after a month of being admitted in the neonatal ICU, our miracle baby finally went home❤️😭 Thank you to my colleagues who helped me and my patient in this journey. Special mention to my mentor and friend, Dr. Marivic Tan who from the start guided me with the couple’s fertility treatment.
Truly, science and faith in the Almighty will help us through the hard times 🙏
