A family reveals the most heartbreaking pictures which show a teen mother cradling her newborn that she never met.
According to media sources, Teegan Barnard was only 17 years old when she gave birth to her child. While the baby boy was healthy, it was the mother who suffered from grave complications on September 9th. Doctors mentioned how the 17-year-old faced immense blood loss due to an internal bleed. And in the end, it was a cardiac arrest that took away her life.
Doctors explain how they performed CPR upon the teen mother but it was all in vain. She passed away soon afterward, as the internal bleed left her brain dead.
Today, the teen mother’s loved ones grieve her loss, collating heartbreaking pictures of her cradling Parker in her arms.
Tragic photographs explain a tale
Just hours before the teen mother passed away, loved ones explain how there were so many tragic photographs taken.
They showed her very last moments, cradling her newborn away. Unfortunately, she never got the chance to meet him. Labor complications intensified to such an extent that she suffered a major cardiac arrest during her delivery. And in the end, it left her brain dead forever.
Meet Teegan Barnard- young teen mother
Teegan Barnard was only 17. She was from Havant in Hampshire. According to reports, the teen mother gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Parker on the 9th of September. Weighing in at 9 pounds 9 ounces, many people in Chester’s Richards Hospital explain how he appeared stunning.
Teegan suffered from the worst complications that ultimately took away her young life. As a first time mother, Teegan looked forward to spending time with her newborn. But little did she know that she would be moments away from her death after the delivery.
The internal bleed led to a massive cardiac arrest. Certainly, her condition was so severe that the great blood loss made her brain dead in minutes. While doctors did keep her in the hospital for weeks, she soon died afterward because the brain damage was so severe.
With her newborn and family by her side, it was the most heartbreaking sight to see.
Final goodbyes- always the hardest
Right before she passed away, the teen mother did have the opportunity to cuddle up beside little Parker. Just like any other mother would, she cherished his tiny feet and hands. Moreover, it was a moment of absolute surrealism to have him lay by her side. Today, her mother Abbie, who is 35 years old, is devastated beyond belief.
She never imagined that her daughter would pass away so suddenly and leave her son behind. Now, Abbie Hallawell is little Parker’s caretaker. In the same way, she mentions the last snaps of Teegan with Parker are memories to last a lifetime. She intends to show Parker pictures of him in his mother’s arms when he grows up.
Speaking to the media, Abbie mentioned how ‘seeing Parker in his mom’s arms made me realize that this is the place where he belongs and that moment is so important to her.’
Details of harrowing delivery revealed
While Teegan’s pregnancy was fine overall, it was the birth of her child that complicated matters. Right after delivering birth, she suffered a cardiac arrest. At that moment in time, she was in the delivery room. And it all left her brain dead for days. And in the end, she died at the hospital, after a 4-week span.
But that one month period, she cuddled up close to Parker, including one last hug, just hours before her death. Without a doubt, the incident left so many people in shock and tears. And now, they mourn the loss of a beautiful 17-year-old.
