Previously Noon Ramida and Louis Scott issued invitations to the media to attend a press conference about their loss at Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, Bancha Lamsam Conference Room, Building 2, 6th Floor. Many sent their heartfelt support.
Most recently, at 14:20, Noon Ramida arrived with Louis Scott, both looking deeply saddened. Louis’s eyes were noticeably red and swollen.
Noon revealed, “As stated in the invitation, we have lost our child. I apologize to the reporters for not allowing questions. Actually, I had planned a cesarean delivery on 24 January. I did not receive prenatal care at Samitivej Sukhumvit because, as you know, we have our own clinic, so I chose to be cared for there with my doctor from the start.”
Dr. Nat Kiatapiwusu, a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine,
said, “I have been the doctor caring for Noon since her prenatal visits. I will share the facts professionally. Throughout her prenatal care, Noon was a diligent woman who attended all appointments regularly, always accompanied by Louis Scott every month. In the first trimester, we focused on monitoring vital signs, blood pressure, and fetal health, all of which remained normal.”
“However, as is well known, Noon had a history of uterine fibroids and underwent surgery five years ago, which is a risk factor. Noon and Louis were aware of this, and our medical team monitored and managed the risks continuously.”
“Entering the third trimester and approaching delivery, we increased monitoring to weekly assessments of fetal weight, development, and uterine contractions.”
“During the final trimester, contraction assessments showed no abnormalities or excessive contractions. We coordinated with the Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital team to plan the delivery, receiving excellent cooperation.”
“Until the incident on 10 January, when the pregnancy was still preterm, Noon experienced premature labor pains and severe abdominal pain, nearly fainting. Louis called us, and we quickly arranged emergency transfer to the hospital, where the medical team promptly treated her in critical condition.”
Dr. Panwad Hanomorn, an obstetrician and maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital, described Noon’s critical condition:
“On the morning of 10 January, Noon had severe abdominal pain and dizziness. The hospital dispatched an emergency doctor to her home. The doctor reported that Noon’s blood pressure was dangerously low at 80/40 mmHg, with a rapid heartbeat of 140 beats per minute and rapid breathing.”
“The doctor was aware that Noon had previously undergone surgery to remove uterine fibroids. Given her history, our team suspected she was experiencing” uterine rupture, which caused massive internal bleeding and led to low blood pressure.”
“Upon arrival at the hospital, Noon was taken directly to the operating room. An ultrasound found no fetal heartbeat, but emergency surgery was necessary to save the mother's life.”
“During the cesarean section, we found extensive bleeding in the abdominal cavity. Examination of the uterus revealed a large tear at the back, which was the source of the bleeding and low blood pressure.”
“The surgical team repaired the uterine rupture over three hours, successfully stopping the bleeding. Anesthesia and blood transfusion teams administered significant blood and fluids to stabilize her vital signs until she was out of critical danger.”
“Due to heavy blood loss, Noon required continuous ICU care to manage blood replacement and monitor for complications from the transfusions.”
“Later, Noon developed pulmonary edema from the large volume of fluids and blood transfused, preventing removal of the breathing tube. She remained in ICU for 4 days and continued treatment for recovery, staying 6 days in hospital before discharge.”
Noon added, “It almost never gave us the chance to sit and talk like this. The cause was uterine rupture due to previous surgery. We thank everyone for their support since yesterday—messages, DMs, and calls. We can’t respond to all but have seen them all.”
“I don’t want everyone to be sad about this news because we have had enough sadness already. At this press conference, we want to share the truth that it was an accident specific to us. It does not mean this will happen to every woman in the third trimester.”
“It was just a jackpot situation for us. This is a warning signal. We want others who have had uterine surgery like me to be more cautious, though it may not happen to everyone.”
“Finally, many may wonder about our future. Please focus on my health now as I recover from heavy blood loss.”
“If you ask if I want more children, there is still hope. It’s not that I won’t have any in the future; I just choose to focus on our relationship for now. I can’t answer that yet. The person who loved and cared for me most on that day was Louis because he had to process information about an uncertain future.”
“So please give us time and support to get through this. I believe this won’t last long. I have lost a lot before and believe life will go on. We will smile and be happy again, definitely.”
