ESTILLES, Amelita

- 41 year old
- G11P10L7 (this is now her 11th pregnancy, she's given birth to 10 children (aka no miscarriages), 7 children are still living)
- Due date is toDAY! (the baby is now 40 weeks)
- She has zero labwork completed (a requirement to delivery at Mercy)
- She has a 27 HCT (dangerously low, and indicates anemia)
- She's been experiencing false labour already...promises to bring her lab results in tomorrow and will take the iron supplements I gave her this morning. She hasn't come for prenatals since her first visit, and nOW she's in danger of not being sufficiently prepared, being too unhealthy, and/or being transported for any of the above! She needs prayer!

Someone who has had thIS many babies is already at risk for so much in labour and delivery, including hemorrhage, which can be controlled, but the ramifications of such blood loss with her already depleted system - goodness. I'll admit I'm scared to be called-in for her delivery..

OTHerwise, she's SUCh an amazing lady - the kind who demands the attention of an entire room because she's had so much life experience and is exploding with joy to tell someone (and everyone) about it! She speaks visayan a million miles a minute, even though she knows i'll understand her more thoroughly if she speaks slower...she's just too excited, and has sO much to say she has trouble getting it all out at once!

Please remember her today and in the near future, and hopefully there won't be any complication in labour and delivery and postpartum.
