Chantelle Petit reveals her baby’s face for the first time

The fistula warrior, Chantelle Petit has been through a lot of challenges since she conceived her baby. Through sharing her sorrowful day when she first connected with the baby, she rebeaed her face and said that the photo will be the last one to post of the baby.

She wrote; “My one week old Summer Ella Mururu. I had only slept 3 hours on this day. I spent the entire day and night at the new born unit taking care of my Boo Boo. She had just been removed from the cold bed a few days prior. Mommy mode had checked in and I was obsessing over everything. On this same day, I managed to pump 60ml of milk for her to drink. Oh how happy I was. My baby had MY milk after 3 days of pumping 5mls each time I produced 60mls.

 My one week old Summer Ella Mururu. I had only slept 3 hours on this day. I spent the entire day and night at the new born unit taking care of my Boo Boo. She had just been removed from the cold bed a few days prior. Mommy mode had checked in and I was obsessing over everything. On this same day, I managed to pump 60ml of milk for her to drink. Oh how happy I was. My baby had MY milk 😭😭😭 after 3 days of pumping 5mls each time I produced 60mls. This was also the first day she fell asleep on my chest. Felt like I was pregnant again. She was so warm. I remember looking at her and telling her sorry for what we went through at birth and all the tears I cried while pregnant. I was very close to losing my love on the 1st of January but I thank the Lord that she is here. When I pushed her out, she didn't cry, I remember telling my sister who was in the delivery room with me to go be with her and watch what they were doing to her. It still is a very traumatizing memory for me. I will do a vlog one day narrating everything. World, meet Summer (Boo Boo). The love of my life 💖💞💖💞💖 This is the only photo I'll post of her. Hey Boo Boo 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Since welcoming her bundle of joy in January, Chantelle’s journey was anything but blissful motherhood. She had to undergo up to three surgeries after she welcomed her baby girl. The new mother suffered birth complications that forced her to undergo reconstructive fistula surgery after a 3^rd degree tear during delivery.

What followed was a painful experience where she could not hold her baby for more than five minutes or sit and walk properly. It was heartbreaking just to hear her describe the amount of pain she would experience while trying to use the bathroom.
