Former child star Jodie Sweetin nearly lost her life due to internal bleeding following the birth of her second child on August 31. “As far as nine lives go, I think I’m down to about four,” she tells People magazine.
What should have been one of the happiest moments in Jodie Sweetin’s life turned into a real life nightmare. Shortly after giving birth via scheduled C-section to her daughter, Beatrix, on August 31, she began to feel extremely weak. Before long (she tells People magazine) she “was in excruciating pain.” Doctors soon realized that she was bleeding internally and they rushed her into surgery. “It was terrifying,” says Jodie, 28.
