In a shocking encounter, a woman who nearly lost her life after her womb exploded because of a diagnosed disease while she was pregnant has made incredible health progress.
Claire Gaynor 's womb exploded and nearly killed her
A heavily pregnant woman who was diagnosed of Asherman’s Syndrome nearly died after her womb exploded.
Claire Gaynor, 37, from Hertfordshire, was diagnosed of Asherman Syndrome which causes scarring on the womb, after the birth of her two older girls.
The life-threatening condition was spotted by doctors during her 30th week of pregnancy while the mum-of-three spent 10 days being treated for heart-burn. Doctors feared it might lead to complications.
TheSun reportsShe was also diagnosed with Placenta Percreta, a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the womb muscle. Surgeons were forced to act quickly when Claire lost consciousness and her unborn baby stopped breathing twice from swallowing too much blood after her womb exploded.
Just hours from death, doctors saved the woman's life by performing a quick-life-saving emergency hysterectomy that saved her life.

Incredibly, when Claire awoke after being ventilated for five days, she was met with an amazing surprise.
Doctor’s had performed an emergency caesarean and delivered her baby boy Cody.
Claire remembers: "I couldn't believe how much he had been through, he was such a little fighter and really is our little miracle.
"My husband, Matt, even named him before I woke up in intensive care five days later.”
Both Claire and Cody have made a full recovery, and the family are thankful that they have made it through the horrific ordeal.
