I'm glad Kelly and her baby are ok but "miraculous natural delivery" this is not. 1500mL is a BIG hemorrhage (and remember volume is often underestimated). Even worse all of this could have been avoided with an ultrasound.

She is lucky she survived and it is thanks to swift intervention from doctors and nurses. In the olden days that she likes to pretend she lives in - she would have died.

Haley says they left early in order to surprise her mom for her birthday. I say it’s because she couldn’t stand to be away from her family that long. I don’t see a future in missionary work unless it’s in Florida. Maybe she will try to convert the gators. 

If this were any other vacation I probably wouldn't think anything of it. But seriously? You left your honeymoon a week early! I'm not thinking anything other than that's a red flag for who knows what but that's not normal. My guess is one or both got homesick and suggested they surprise the mom/mil and the other went along with it. Maybe I'm being ridiculous digging my heels in but I've literally never heard of anyone in a healthy relationship leaving their honeymoon a week early when there weren't extenuating circumstances (as in: there's a hurricane moving in so you need to leave NOW. Not, golly let's surprise Mom).

Any news? It’s May now…

Kelly Havens had her daughter. 

The good - they recognized a medical emergency and went to a hospital in enough time to save both mother and baby. She’s one I would expect to give birth in a field while chanting prayers. 

The not-so-good #1 - Kelly and Jill R can compete as to who had the greater amount of blood loss. 

The not-so-good #2 - she and Karissa can compete for the title of “most miraculous natural delivery” or, as most of us would call it, “risking their lives in the name of natural birth.” Based on that brief summary, she is very lucky both she and baby are still alive. I try to avoid following her but this is going to be another overwrought birth story.
