Mother’s Day Miracle: Rare medical intervention saves high-risk pregnancy for Ontario woman

WATCH: She’s been called a rare 'force of nature' by her Sunnybrook medical team. But the only thing Brampton’s Tehmina Chaudhry wanted to be called is 'mom.' As we lead into Mother’s Day weekend, Melanie Zettler brings us a story about loss, determination, positivity and a medical marvel.

“So, triplets on its own is a very complex pregnancy but when you combine it with having a very weak cervix, it’s not a good combination,” said Melamed.“God has given me these three children for a reason. There are three losses that we’ve had and there’s a reason for this…so, we’ve got to do something else,” said Tehmina.

This would be a first for Dr. Liu who, during the procedure, discovered another complication. Tehmina’s scar on her uterus from two previous c-sections, had started to open. The first c-section resulted in a loss and the second delivered Eliza. A tenacious Tehmina would continue to defy the odds. She was admitted to hospital at 21 weeks for constant observation but away from home, her husband and toddler, Eliza.
