Sarah Saxena, a 32-year-old marketing manager,...
Sarah Saxena, a 32-year-old marketing manager, had always dreamed of a large family. After two uncomplicated vaginal deliveries, her third pregnancy took a frightening turn at 24 weeks. She was diagnosed with a complete placenta previa with accreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall and covers the cervix. Despite weeks of modified bed rest, she experienced a significant, painless hemorrhage at 31 weeks. Her obstetrician, Dr. Mehta, explained that a traditional C-section was too dangerous due to the placenta's location and invasion. To safely deliver her baby boy and control the life-threatening bleeding, a hysterotomy, a surgical incision into the uterus, followed by a planned hysterectomy was the only viable option. The procedure was intense; Sarah was under general anesthesia while a multidisciplinary team worked swiftly. Her son, Arjun, was born needing NICU care but thrived. Sarah's physical recovery from the major abdominal surgery was slow and painful, compounded by the hormonal shift of sudden surgical menopause. Emotionally, she grappled with profound loss, the end of her childbearing years was not by choice, and she mourned the future pregnancies she had envisioned. With time, therapy, and the support of her husband, she began to heal, focusing her love on her three children while acknowledging the complexity of her grief and gratitude for being alive to mother them.
