Nicoleta Vaia from Bucharest suffers from a rare, very dangerous disease. However, she wanted a child with all her heart.
The woman struggled all her life with a disease whose name she found out late: mastocytosis. Since 1996, when she had her first anaphylactic shock, she went to several doctors, who managed to make a clear diagnosis. It wasn’t until 2008 that she found out what she was struggling with. Mastocytosis is a very rare disease, which is manifested by hives, episodes of anaphylactic shock, inability to assimilate drugs, and many other ailments.
Nicoleta’s problem appeared at the age of 22, when she went to the dentist and went into anaphylactic shock following anesthesia. Eventually, the woman had to endure the intervention live.
Nicoleta became pregnant and gave birth to little Ian, whom his mother says is perfect. The boy hurried to give birth three months ahead of schedule. Then, Nicoleta underwent anesthesia. “And then mastocytosis remembered me, flushing, anaphylactic shock from trauma. I fainted 5 times in pain. 117 hours of labor followed. I fell to the knee of the anesthetist who pushed me with his foot because mastocytosis would kill me anyway. I did acupressure until the metal teeth of the comb pierced my palms and blood flowed, just to have dilation “
Because the fetus was in danger, the doctors decided that a cesarean section was needed: “I literally bit the walls, I tore my clothes, the pain was excruciating. It hurts me when I remember “, Nicoleta adds
Only five days after the operation, she recovered from the shock and was able to see her little boy in the incubator. “He stayed with me for a year, 24 out of 24, I only took him when my husband came to change me and I went to the bathroom.”
Although she went through such moments, the mother does not regret any moment of the lived ordeal. “He is a perfect child, I wish everyone like that! It’s as beautiful as it is, not that it’s mine! ”
