"Everything is worth it," says Maja Salvador as she opened up about the complication she had after giving birth.
A week after welcoming baby Maria to the world, Maja Salvador opened up about her experience of giving birth for the first time.
On Instagram, Maja revealed that she had an emergency 10 minutes after giving birth to baby Maria.
"I experienced an intense 30-hour labor, 12 hours without epidural, [three] hours of pushing. Then ended up having episiotomoy and forcepts. [Two] contractions and [seven] pushes later, we finally welcomed our baby Maria," she wrote on Instagram.
"Immediately had 10 minutes of skin-to-skin contact with her, but biglang nagka emergency... I had uterine inversion. Kaya kinailangan nilang kunin sa'kin si Maria at binigay nila kay Rambo who was seated helplessly next to my bed."
According to Better Health Channel, uterine inversion is "the placenta fails to detach from the uterine wall, and pulls the uterus inside-out as it exits."
Maja added that three OB-GYN had to manually put her uterus back to avoid further damage.
"[Three] OB GYN were there trying to put back my uterus manually which led to blood loss of 3 to 4 liters, then my blood pressure went down to 60/40, sinabihan na lang ako ng Doula ko na anytime I would have to go to the operating room for surgery.
"That time sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko na I can't do anything anymore... ubos na ubos na lakas ko... I started praying Hail Mary... paulit ulit kahit wala na akong lakas. And miraculously, after their last attempt, one of the OB GYN succeeded in repositioning my uterus. AMEN!!!"
In the end, Maja expressed her gratitude toward the doctors, her doula, husband Rambo Nuñez, and everyone who helped her.
She ended, "Despite the challenging journey, gusto kong i-express ang gratitude ko to all the medical personnel na nandun nun, especially to the filipino nurses who provided unwavering care and support."
In January 2024, Maja and Rambo confirmed that their first child is a girl after sharing on their social media accounts the highlight of their gender reveal party.
Prior to their star-studded wedding in Bali Indonesia in July 2023, they first held a civil ceremony in February of the same year.
