A pregnant Arizona woman who went to the hospital in severe pain Monday was reportedly sent home three times by nurses before giving birth in the hospital parking lot in the early hours of the morning.
“It was really traumatic,” Lucy Villanueva, the new mother’s mother, told Nashville television station WSMV on Monday, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Last week, her pregnant daughter Scherazade Vedarte-Gonzalez reportedly showed up at the hospital three times to make sure everything was OK as she experienced severe pain as the end of her pregnancy approached.
Indeed, the future mother who was expecting a little girl had to be artificially induced on Saturday, according to the American media.
When she presented herself at the hospital for the third time, around 1 a.m. on Monday, she was again sent home by the medical staff on site, who advised her to wait for her appointment. induction Saturday.
Except that when she arrived home, the pain intensified, to the point that the mother-to-be and her own mother rushed back to Banner Casa Grande Medical Center in Phoenix, where she gave birth in her van just two hours after having returned home.
“She said to me, “Mom, it’s starting! We have to go! It happens! I feel it. He’s already on his way out,” and I couldn’t believe it… when I opened the door, I already saw the face. I didn’t know what to do,” the new grandmother continued.
Little Luzbella would have come out so quickly that her grandmother would not have had time to get emergency personnel. It was only once the baby was placed in her mother’s arms that she left her to seek help.
Fortunately, mother and daughter are said to be in good health, while the duo were quickly taken care of.
For its part, the medical center would have denied having sent the woman home, indicating instead that the mother-to-be would have returned home of her own accord, the “NY Post” reported.
“Scherazade Luz Vedarte-Gonzalez was seen and evaluated before delivery. She was not in active labor and chose to return home. She gave birth several hours later. We are happy that she and her baby are doing well after giving birth,” the Center reportedly told WSMV in a press release.
