Kizoa Video Maker: Placenta Accreta Survivor

I made a slideshow honoring Gabriel's 1st birthday and my 1 year Accreta Survival. 2025 Update : the statics in this video are outdated. Placenta Accreta Spectrum is now 1 in 272. TRIGGER WARNING : In addition, at the end of this slideshow I have included photos of my uterus after surgery. These are graphic and not sutable for some viewers. I do include about 5-8 seconds before the photos are shown to give viewers time to close our the video. Please use caution when viewing.

First I have to share the love and support from all over. Especially to Hope for Accreta Foundation, Gina. She sent me this. Such a beautiful surprise to see the signatures of survivors from all over the world. Very humbling. Probably the biggest and most humbling gifts I've received thus far are cards with words of encouragement.

"Phew. I just read her blog. Oh,Father, bless this mama. Give her strength and endurance. Help her feel Your presence and peace. Make the time sweet yet swift so she can be back to snuggle all her little guys and their new little love. Help her and her husband fall even more deeply in love and for them to be strengthened by this experience. Protect her baby, Father, with lungs developed and fully functioning systems at birth. Growing this little one outside the womb as well, strong and healthy. (Through fierce tears) I pray you give her courage. In Jesus name,Amen." Thank you so much for everyone who is thinking about, praying for us and sending us messages and text m...
