Woman Goes Into 75 Days of Labor – Yes, that’s Days, Not Hours

From the archive. This post was first published on the original Green Eggs and Moms blog and is kept here as it was.

There are a lot of amazing birth stories out there.  They just need to be found.

Today we write about something mind-blowing

The Momformation Blog reports that a polish woman, Joanna Krzysztonek, has undergone what seems to be the labor from hell: a 75-day labor period.

She was carrying triplets when 5 months into the pregnancy, one of the fetuses was born premature and sadly died. Since then, she was in labor for the 2 remaining babies.

Did we mention she spent all those days upside down?

Her doctors decided to have her feet raised higher than her head to keep the babies from being born prematurely.

This is a great example of a mother’s love for her children.

Joanne endured months of being upside down in bed to give her children a fighting chance.

This story has a happy ending

On February 15, her twin boy and girl came into the world ending her labor struggles.

Kudos to this awesome woman for doing everything she could to keep her children safe.
