“It seems a little concerning,” she said, adding that she had scheduled an ultrasound the next day to “see how everything goes.”

She recalled the heartbreaking moments leading up to it: “Just as they wheeled me back (to the operating room), I just wanted to ask, ‘Can I please have one more ultrasound? definitely,” she said.
