Patient Family Partner, Huda A., speaks about her birth story including preterm birth, cardiac arrest, hypertension, bleeding, clotting, respiratory effects, and amniotic fluid embolism. She also talks about her recovery and advocacy including working with an MMRC (Maternal Mortality Review Committee), a PQC (Perinatal Quality Collaborative), the Amniotic Fluid Embolism Foundation, and how she was pivotal in establishing AFE Awareness Day.
“I have no memory of waking up. I didn’t know that I even had a baby…9 years later and I have no memory of that at all.”
“How it is literally ok to not be ok, while feeling blessed to be alive.”
“I highly recommend the moment that you feel like you are someone who can advocate for yourself and for others.”
