mom having an allergic/anaphylactic reaction.

Heart can't push the goo through.

Body went into shock.

She couldn't breathe.

Her blood began to clot.

Docs did emergency C-section in 6 minutes.

Then mom went to cardiac arrest.

Then another catastrophic thing happened.

Paula began hemorrhaging massively from every part of her body....from eyes, ears, nose, every incision, every bump and bruise.  All her blood clotting factors had been used up.

Docs poured blood clotting factors into her.

The baby's chances of survival were at 50/50. 

Mom was then noted to have unusual swelling in upper abdomen.

Surgeons reopened c-section.

Astonished to find 1 gal of clot-filled blood.  With the clots removed, her blood quit clotting.

Of the 10% of women who survive, most are brain-damaged. Only 1% survive without any damage.  She turned out to be in the 1% luckily.

A day later she was holding her baby and was OK.

=========

All this started with her first labor pain of her second child.  It was the leak of the amniotic fluid into her blood stream that caused her to immediately start to feel like her throat was "closing up" and she couldn't breathe (anaphylactic allergic reaction).  She passed out pretty quickly.
