Her Story
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Angela Wilburn was the first member of her family to graduate from high school. She was 28 years old and pregnant with her 8th and 9th babies at the time. Her nine children were born in 11 years.
At more than 41 weeks’ gestation, her labor was induced with pitocin and artificial rupture of membranes. With her doula at her side, she labored easily with light contractions for about 2 hours and dilated quickly in about half an hour.
Her son Rodney was soon born, weighing 6 pounds, 10 ounces. Before her second son was born, his amniotic sac broke, prolapsing his umbilical cord. The doctor called for a cesarean, and 7 minutes later, Randle was born, weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces.
Angela, however, bled profusely from the surgery, and a hysterectomy was performed to try to save her life. A Jehovah’s Witness, she refused a blood transfusion and died August 10, 2005, in Coon Rapids, Minnesota.
Her estranged husband is in prison. Angela’s grandparents are raising eight of her nine children.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
