After Experiencing Severe Bleeding During the Birth of Her Third Child, Jessica Iskandar Lost 800cc of Blood

Kapanlagi.com - Artist Jessica Iskandar has just welcomed the arrival of her third child on Monday (12/2/2024). Her second daughter from her marriage to Vincent Verhaag was born through a normal delivery. However, her delivery journey was marked by a tense moment as Jessica experienced bleeding.

Dr. Ruswantriani Sp.OG, or Dr. Tria, who handled her delivery at RS Bunda, explained that Jessica experienced placenta adhesion to the uterine wall. This condition caused her to lose blood up to 800 cc in a short time.

"If we look at the delivery process, it was smooth, the dilation was smooth, and from complete dilation to birth, Jessica only had to push once, that’s remarkable. However, after giving birth, there was a critical phase; the baby’s birth should be followed by the placenta automatically, as a result of uterine contractions," explained Dr. Tria at a press conference on Sunday (12/8/2024).

1. Jessica's Hemoglobin Drops Drastically

The doctor also explained that the bleeding condition had actually been anticipated. Due to significant blood loss, Jessica's hemoglobin dropped drastically from 11 to 7. This made the medical team have to immediately provide a blood transfusion to stabilize her condition.

"Well, at that time the hemoglobin, which was originally 11, dropped to 7, so a transfusion was indeed necessary to restore the heart's function to be more optimal. However, sometimes during the transfusion, there are unpredictable things that can happen," he said.

2. Undergoing Transfusion

After undergoing the transfusion, Jessica's body reacted with fever and chills. However, the doctor assured that this was a normal reaction.

"There is something called a transfusion reaction; initially, during the transfusion, Jessica experienced fever and chills. If we say this is actually a mild transfusion reaction and has been addressed, and thank God the continuation of this transfusion went smoothly," he said.

3. Condition Has Returned to Normal

Now, Jessica's condition has returned to normal. She can even walk and breastfeed her child without any obstacles.

"We can see now that the smile is back and she is no longer pale. This is all thanks to the cooperation of the family. I see Vincent has never left Jessica for a second, even though sometimes when men see that much bleeding they might faint, Vincent was pale but still stayed with her. Everything is possible because of the cooperation of the family and the medical team," he said.

4. No Connection to IVF Method

Vincent Verhaag, the husband, confirmed that the bleeding his wife experienced is not related to the IVF method used. He emphasized that this condition is a normal occurrence during childbirth.

"There is no connection to IVF. This is a normal reaction that can happen to anyone," said Vincent.

5. Condition of Jessica Iskandar's Third Baby

This newborn baby girl weighs 3 kilograms and is 49 cm long. Nevertheless, Jessica and Vincent are still keeping the name of their third child a secret.

"Healthy, beautiful, definitely looks like both of us," concluded Vincent.
