'Twins mom' Imrahra goes from acute postpartum hemorrhage to 'near cardiac arrest'..."My lifelong savior" (Shudol)
Imrahra thanked the paramedics as she recounted the near-death experience she had after giving birth to her twins.
On the March 3 episode of KBS2's "Superman is Back," Im Ra Ra and Son Min Soo prepared a special event to celebrate the 200th day of their twin boys, Kang and Lee Dan.
The couple has been enjoying happy moments since they were able to hold their twins in their arms after a difficult IVF procedure, but Im Ra Ra revealed that she had a major crisis right after giving birth.
"They are my lifesavers," she said on the show, referring to the paramedics who saved her life.
Shortly after giving birth to her twins, Imrah suffered a life-threatening acute postpartum hemorrhage in the kitchen.
Her husband, Son Min-soo, recalls, "There was a lot of blood, like a murder scene. I thought I had turned on the water, but it was all blood."What sounded like running water in the bathroom was actually the sound of blood pouring out.
"I must have fainted 10 times," Imlara says, recalling the dizzying experience.
Rushed to the hospital, quick first aid saved her life and she was reunited with her twin.
On the 200th day, Imrah and Son Minsoo visited the paramedics to thank them in person. Meeting with the three paramedics, Imara expressed her deep gratitude with a handshake and a hug.
The paramedics explained that the situation was very urgent. There was no OB/GYN on-call at the nearest hospital, which made the situation even more urgent, and they continued chest compressions for about 40 minutes, which could have led to cardiac arrest.
Meanwhile, Im Lara and Son Min Soo, who married in 2023, conceived twin boys through in vitro fertilization and gave birth in October last year.
