Alice Norin Reveals Difficult Childbirth Process, 3 Liters of Bleeding and ICU Entry

Kapanlagi.com - Alice Norin is currently enjoying the happy moments after the arrival of her second daughter named Alana Naira Lawi on September 9, 2020. When first announcing the happy news, Alice said that her childbirth process went smoothly. However, little did anyone know that there was a long and difficult process that this mother of two had to go through during the pregnancy.

After some investigation, Alice was diagnosed with Placenta Accreta disorder early in her pregnancy. Therefore, this 33-year-old woman had to consult with experts to anticipate the worst possible scenarios during her pregnancy.

"I want to share a little about the challenging process of giving birth to Alana, but thank God I successfully overcame the challenges in this second pregnancy. I'm a Placenta Previa Totalis Accreta survivor," Alice wrote in an Instagram post.

1. Bleeding Up to 3 Liters

This disorder is so rare in pregnant women. One of the symptoms is excessive bleeding, which Alice experienced.

"The doctor warned me from the beginning that I should prepare myself for the possibility of excessive bleeding during childbirth. And indeed, I lost 3 liters of blood during the delivery process," she continued.

2. Admitted to ICU

Even after the delivery process, Alice still had to wait longer to meet her baby. This is because she was immediately taken to the ICU due to significant blood loss.

"Even after giving birth, I couldn't immediately meet baby ANL #2 because I had to be admitted to the ICU for 2 days due to excessive blood loss. Even after meeting, I couldn't breastfeed immediately because the doctor said there was strong medication that I consumed due to my condition and it was not recommended to breastfeed," she recalled.

3. Possibility of Uterus Removal

Even when approaching the due date, there was a possibility that Alice had to undergo a uterus removal. If that were to happen, Alice would not be able to get pregnant again in the future. However, luckily that scenario did not happen.

"During the pregnancy, I consulted with doctors who made me anxious, because there was a possibility that my condition required me to have a uterus removal and I was not 100% ready, because if that was the only option, it meant I would not be able to menstruate and get pregnant again. Alhamdulillah, the process of Alana's birth was successful without any complications, and without the need for a uterus removal," Alice continued.

At the end of her long story, Alice shared tips for pregnant mothers to frequently check their pregnancy to anticipate any possible bad things that could happen. She hoped that her experience could be a learning lesson for others.
