Vasa previa - a rare condition , can't be detected in the scans, in which the baby's blood vessels are at risk of getting ruptured and 50% chance of the baby to survive if an emergency delivery could be done.
God allowed me to go through this condition but He didn't leave us alone. He carried us through this devastating condition when on Aug 1st night my water bag broke in my 34th week... by next day morning water became inadequate and the doctors thought to induce labor.
In the process suddenly I started to bleed heavily and the doctors arranged for an emergency c section. I lost considerable amount of blood and so did my baby. I was on the wheel chair being rushed to the operation theatre and I was screaming to God at my heart to save my child.
Doctors told me tat I was lucky that day since all the doctors, specialists were readily available to handle the situation.
My son was born and he suffered a serious respiratory distress and blood loss and they took him immediately to NICU. The doctor was not able to give any assurance but just said let's see. He was given blood twice and platelets transfusion was done once. He suffered a serious infection for which he was under antibiotics for 10 days. His kidney was functioning a little slower and we were completely broken.
The Lord will not fail those who look at Him. And He didn't fail us. The day we were discharged from the hospital the doctor looked at me and said , "It's God's grace that your baby is fine now. We were able to save him at the right time".
We give all praise and glory to God. We as a family would stand as a testimony all through our life for the great and mighty hand of God has given our son alive to us. I am grateful to all who had prayed for me.
Praise be to God
