TEDxDelft: Musetta Blaauw @musjes – ‘I do not accept fate as society defines it’

TEDx staat ook voor doorzetting, innovatie, frissie visies, tech en design. Je kunt daarbij het lot nemen en ontvangen zoals het komt, hoe zwaar de natuur soms ook kan zijn. Je kunt ook vechten voor anders en zeer duidelijk zeggen: ‘I do not accept fate as society defines it’. ‘Musetta Blaauw, mother of three, woke up in the middle of the night, eight days after giving birth to her third child, bleeding. After being rushed to the hospital for a curettage, she woke up at the IC 15 hours later; finding out that her dream of having a large family was shattered.

“Luckily, you have three children already!” they told her, after explaining that after a long and chaotic day of surgery and treatment the medical team finally managed to save her life by taking out her uterus. Recovering and grieving together with nurturing her newborn she made a decision. They might have taken out her uterus, but they would not take away the decision to try for a fourth child.’
