Preeclampsia: Hidrocefalia, 22 cirugías y pensamientos suicidas | MAMILLIZA Ep. 54

Dara was 21 when she became a mother. What should have been a dream pregnancy turned into a nightmare of medical negligence that almost cost her and her son Roberto their lives. 💔 In this episode of Mamilliza, Dara opens her heart and shares how a private hospital ignored her symptoms of preeclampsia, how Roberto was born without vital signs, and how, after 22 surgeries, hydrocephalus, a cephalic shunt, and persistent infections, she continues to fight alongside her son every day. A story of faith, vulnerability, support networks, and the unwavering strength of a mother's love. ❤️ ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode addresses sensitive topics such as medical negligence, potential loss of a baby, postpartum depression, and suicidal thoughts.
