00:00This pregnant woman was determined to give birth to a calm, well-behaved baby.
00:04Every day she was either at business dinners or speeding with blaring rock music.
00:07The day before labor, she was still racing around stealing clients, after finally closing a deal.
00:12The next second, her water broke.
00:14She was completely unfazed.
00:15She said she'd squeeze in having a baby, and have her assistant handle the contract.
00:19Right after, she drove herself to the hospital.
00:22When her husband got the news, he rushed over.
00:24She was the one comforting him, telling him not to panic.
00:27Then came the awkward moment.
00:28The nurse had applied medication beforehand.
00:30It was to avoid any embarrassing moments during labor.
00:33The nurse told her to hold on for 10 minutes.
00:35She didn't even last one.
00:36She bolted to the restroom.
00:38The sounds coming from inside startled her husband.
00:40But she'd stopped caring about her dignity.
00:42When the contractions hit, that's when she truly experienced pain.
00:45Every second felt unbearable.
00:47At that point, no amount of comfort helped.
00:49All she wanted was an epidural.
00:51But the epidural required a doctor's assessment.
00:53In the end, she went into the delivery room without it.
00:56She was a 40-year-old advanced maternal age patient.
00:59Her body gave out and she lost consciousness.
01:01She saw a ghostly figure.
01:03She thought back on everything she'd worked for in her life.
01:05She'd done every dirty, exhausting job imaginable.
01:08It took years of sacrifice to become the fourth highest executive at the corporation.
01:11She couldn't accept dying like this.
01:13So she fought desperately to survive.
01:15Even that ghostly figure couldn't stop her.
01:17She finally came to, and pushed with all her might.
01:20The baby was born safely.
01:21When she woke up again, her husband and his whole family were gathered around the baby.
01:25Nobody cared that her mouth was parched and she was dying for water.
01:28Only her mother showed concern for the dangerous ordeal she'd been through.
01:31Her mother dampened a tissue with warm water, and gently wiped her cracked lips.
01:35Seeing her caring mother by her side, the tough Gemma shed tears to help her produce milk.
01:39Her mother made her drink seaweed broth at every meal.
01:41She couldn't waste a single bit of the residue.
01:44Her husband thoughtfully brought two cups of iced Americano coffee.
01:47Gemma's eyes told him to take them away.
01:48Her mother said that iced drinks were forbidden during the recovery period.
01:52She grabbed the coffee and threw it out immediately.
01:54Things got worse every time Gemma sat down.
01:56There was a dull ache down there.
01:57She was afraid to use the bathroom.
01:59The doctor warned her she couldn't urinate before 6 p.m.
02:02Otherwise, they'd have to insert a catheter.
02:04That's when Gemma let out a blood-curdling scream.
02:06Her mother hurried out to investigate.
02:08She rushed downstairs to the coffee shop, just to grab an iced Americano to settle her nerves.
02:13She stepped into the elevator with the drink.
02:15The pregnant woman next to her suddenly sneezed.
02:17There was an embarrassing sound of fluid.
02:19To dodge the splash, Gemma accidentally spilled coffee all over herself.
02:22The elevator doors opened just then.
02:24She happened to bump into co-workers from her office coming to visit.
02:27They saw the liquid on the floor and caught the unpleasant smell.
02:30Gemma's image as a tough businesswoman was completely shattered.
02:33She was about to explain.
02:34Her husband pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
02:37After finally making it through until discharge,
02:39she checked into an exclusive postpartum recovery and wellness center.
02:42Little did she know, the real nightmare was only just beginning.
