Ashley Graham is speaking out about miscarriage, pregnancy and relearning how to love her body after giving birth.
"The night I gave birth to the twins, I hemorrhaged," Graham wrote."It was 2 a.m. when my contractions started. At 3:45 a.m. I went to the toilet thinking I needed the bathroom, and Malachi came out just as my doula was arriving, in time to bring him into the world." She continues,"Two hours and seven minutes later, I had Roman in my apartment bathtub—we didn’t even have enough time to blow up the home birthing tub because everything happened so fast.
Graham says while at first, she was happy that her twins came into the world in incredibly fast fashion -- a total of three and a half hours in labor -- the next morning she blacked out from pain and was given emergency treatment to try to stop excessive bleeding. "I remember seeing darkness and what seemed like stars," Graham wrote of briefly losing consciousness."They didn’t want to tell me, right then, that I’d lost liters of blood. They didn’t want to tell me that one of the midwives had to flip me over, press her finger down right above my vagina bone to try and stop the bleeding.
The motivation behind Graham's transparency is to help other women who have gone through similar, traumatic experiences during childbirth.
