Size 8's Ordeal ¶
Size 8, a gospel singer, recently gave birth to her second child after a traumatic pregnancy marked by complications. The ordeal began when she lost her previous pregnancy, leaving her and her husband, DJ Mo, with doubts about the current pregnancy.
Despite seeking medical advice and taking necessary precautions, Size 8 developed complications just three weeks into her pregnancy. She experienced a 'pressure attack,' which was later stabilized, but the ordeal was far from over.
She was rushed to the hospital on several occasions, where doctors discovered that she had fibroids causing womb pains, numbness, and seizures. Her blood pressure shot up again, accompanied by dizziness, headaches, and convulsions. To make matters worse, she started experiencing mild strokes.
After several check-ups, doctors decided that the best course of action was to deliver the baby via cesarean section (CS) at 34 weeks and 4 days. Size 8 was not thrilled about the idea of giving birth prematurely, but she trusted her doctors and went ahead with the delivery.
The baby was rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for monitoring, and Size 8 was left to stare at her newborn from a distance. The couple has shared their ordeal on a YouTube video, which takes viewers through the traumatic experience.
Let's have Size 8 and her family in our prayers, and congratulations to her on the birth of her second child!
