Thank you

I have 4 children. My first two were natural births. Everything went alright with the delivery of them. Then I had my 3rd child. They had to induce me because I was a week late. By 3 am the next morning, I was not progressing so they decided to give me an emergency c-section. Everything was fine, I had the baby and was sent off to my recovery room. 2 days later, as I was getting up from my bed to take a shower, I had passed out. The doctor said I lost so much blood that they needed to give me a transfusion. Then, with my 4th child, I had a very difficult pregnancy. My rh factor was negative and the babie’s was positive, this caused anemia in the baby. So, in my last trimester I had to have many blood tranfusions through my belly for the baby. If it wasn’t for blood donors I would not have my 4th and final beautiful baby boy!
