Hear Desiree and Kirsten’s Story

In this video from CDC’s Hear Her campaign, Desiree and her sister Kirsten describe their experience with a pregnancy-related complication. Desiree experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, resulting in heavy bleeding after the birth of her daughter. Kirsten encouraged her to see her doctor. Desiree’s quick-acting obstetrician listened to her concerns and may have saved her life.
