The longest labour ever


We get to hear about such strange things on a daily basis. A Woman named Joanna Krzysztonek has to lie 'upside-down' for 75 DAYS to save lives of her two premature children. She was supposed to have triplets but one baby died earlier on. In order to make sure that her other two babies survive, she had to lie upside down for more than 10 weeks. She even risked contracting infections that might have caused her haemorrhage while lying at a 35 degree angle for more than 10 weeks but she went through all that. Anyway, her baby daughter has been named Iga and the son is called Ignacy. These were the names of saints.

Some mothers go to such extreme length to protect their babies. This is nothing but a miracle. Joanna is indeed a very brave woman. We wish this family much happiness & love!

I’ve met women who believe that having a baby is the most easiest thing even though they have never been pregnant themselves. I just couldn’t say to them: get pregnant, face the horror of delivering the baby & then make such statements. I wonder what would they do if doctors ask them to lie upside down for the baby. Even animals have problem while delivering babies & I really don’t know where do such women live. Men can say anything as they don’t get pregnant. But I don’t expect women to be so damn insensitive about other women.

This write-up is for all the moms out there who genuinely protect their kids & do care about them. I’m glad I could say this about my mother.
