Overview
- The reality-TV couple shared a detailed Instagram video about son Romeo’s delivery, explaining what happened in the delivery room and right after birth.
- They said labor was induced around 10 a.m., contractions began within an hour, an epidural followed, and doctors moved to an emergency C-section at 22:36 after the baby failed to descend, his heart rate sped up, the fluid discolored, and Karina developed a fever.
- After the birth, Karina lost about 1.5 liters of blood and surgeons used a “rucksack suture,” a stitching technique that squeezes the uterus to stop bleeding and avoid removing it.
- Karina said she could barely get out of bed for about three days, so Steffen handled nights with the newborn and her mother visited daily to help them catch up on sleep.
- In a short update, she told followers a shower made her feel like a new person and she promised more details, a candid approach that may correct the idea that C-sections are simple.
