“It was great that she came out so quickly because I didn’t have to push very many times. But with a fast birth like that, she swallowed a lot of amniotic fluid,” Kent shared of the problem that caused her to stay an extra day at the hospital.

“She had so much fluid in her that she was vomiting all the food out,” she continued.

When Sosa “turned purple” shortly after the delivery, “they then [brought] in a specialist. They’re like, ‘We want a surgeon to look at her because this isn’t normal. We’ve got 10 milliliters of amniotic fluid out of her stomach the first time. Then we got another eight,' " Kent recalled.

“They were draining it through the nose and it wouldn’t stop,” she said. “They said, ‘We’re either going to have pediatric surgery deal with it or we want to keep her in the NICU.'”

Luckily, Sosa ended up being fine and no further medical attention was needed. In fact, Kent shared that Sosa has already gained “a pound in one week” since bringing her home.
