Laura D's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

Baby was not due until December, my water broke and I went to the hospital.  The baby was born at 1:19 A.m.Sat.10/15/60

My doctor pushed down on my abdomen to help expel the afterbirth, I remember blood shot all over the nurse and her uniform, I heard her tell the Dr. she didn't have a clean uniform and would have to go home to get one. The Dr. was yelling, go get the oxygen.

All of this time, I was thinking, just leave me alone. There was the most brilliant light I had ever seen and I felt so warm and loved, and there was a golden ladder going into the heavens and you couldn't see the top of it, as it disappeared into fluffy clouds up so high.  Around the bottom of the ladder there were several Angels flitting about. I felt at peace and happy and wanted to stay there.

Then I was taken to a room so I could get some rest.  When I woke up, a nurse was sitting by my bed, and she tried to take my blood pressure, couldn't get a reading on my left arm, so tried on my right arm.  Nothing, she went and got a different pressure cuff, and just could not get a good reading on me. The Dr. came and they gave me several shots. 

I did not have one drop of blood on my pad, Dr. asked the nurse if anyone had changed my pad, she said no.  The last I heard, he was living in Oregon somewhere.
