Watch woman's village of support after ectopic pregnancy through her doorbell cam
It takes a village. And this village showed up just when Tessa Truman needed it most.
In her first trimester of pregnancy, Tessa was getting ready to take her stepson to school in Henderson, Nevada, when she suddenly felt very ill. She fell unconscious and was caught by her fiancé, who called the paramedics.
Tessa found out she was carrying an ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when an egg is growing outside the uterus. Her egg was growing in her fallopian tube, which suddenly burst and caused potentially life-threatening internal bleeding. Luckily, Tessa received surgery just in time.
Recovering from the loss of the pregnancy was not easy for Tessa, but her village made sure she wasn’t alone. The proof was in her doorbell footage: about 20 friends, family, and acquaintances constantly arriving at her front door with food, flowers, love, and support.
Hoping to connect with other women with similar stories, Tessa shared her experience online. That garnered thousands of supportive comments as the video went viral, with over 15 million views.
Watch this village show up for a woman in her time of need.
