Actress Hanna Grobler, wife of Afrikaans singer Bok van Blerk, opened up about her near death experience during childbirth via an Instagram post on Monday 4 October.
HANNA GROBLER AND BOK VAN BLERK WELCOME BABY PAPILLON
Hanna Grobler and Bok van Blerk have been married since 2014 and welcomed their fourth child to the world on 21 September. The actress said that she was anxious about her pregnancies because of her son, Louis, who was stillborn.
“Because of the stillbirth of our son, Louis, everyone becomes anxious towards the end of my pregnancies…the baby is monitored continuously and sometimes taken out earlier,” she wrote.
With their new baby girl, whose name is Papillon, Hanna gave birth via a C-section at 37 weeks. The baby was tiny and the doctor’s said she was putting on weight too slowly. However, the actress said her motherly instinct let her know the baby would be fine, but that she herself wasn’t.
“My motherly instinct knew she was fine, and she was. But I wasn’t,” she continued.

HANNA GROBLER’S NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
She began to explain that she felt like it was the last time she was going to see her children.
“I left them letters to tell them that I love them,” she said.
She went on to say that during the C-section the doctor discovered that she has a placenta increta. A placenta increta occurs when the placenta attaches too deeply into the wall of the uterus. This condition is thought to be caused by scarring on the lining of the uterus.
The actress said when she woke up after the C-section, the anaesthetist told her that they have to fight for her life. She couldn’t breathe, but she couldn’t speak. Thankfully, the anaesthetist realised what she was trying to say and gave her an oxygen mask.
Survival miracle
She said she saw Jesus next to her bed. He didn’t say anything, he just touched her hair. Hanna lost litres of blood explaining that it was a miracle that she survived.
“We got the biggest gift… A new little life and a second chance for me. When I look at my husband and my children, the tears flow. I am grateful,” she wrote.
