Apologies in advance because this is long. Apologies for all the details but they are relevant. Oh and I've name changed for this because I don't want my friend to be doxxed. There is a too long/didn't read at the bottom.
This is about Person A and their close relative, Person B, who appears to be a bit odd.
Person A is pregnant and the same complications arise two times, basically a kidney infection that requires hospitalisation four around 4 days. Person A cannot eat because of excessive vomiting and needs antibiotic drip and pain killers. So two hospital stays of around 4 days.
While in hospital, Person A is apparently considered well enough to get out of bed and move around at will, go to the toilet on their own, collect own dishes for providing urine samples, wonder around to the breakfast room and so forth. Person A's baby is monitored for an hour one morning during this. This only happens once during the two stays. The baby is totally fine, normal heart beat and movement etc. No other testing, other then the vitals which everyone has to do anyway, are taken during this stay.
Person A is told that the reason for the hospital stay is that there are ketones in the urine samples and that these need to fall to an acceptable level before Person A will be allowed to leave as these are indicative of state of health of kidneys.
Person A almost never sees a doctor during either of these visits. Midwives are calm and appear unconcerned about Person A's health. Person A's buzzes for attention often go unanswered for over half an hour, so Person A does not appear to be at the top of the priority list. Person A reviews her own notes which seem totally routine and non alarmist and Person A recovers full health.
During this hospital stay Person B visits Person A and is perfectly pleasant and appears to be calm but concerned.
Person A is not considered to have an at risk pregnancy despite these complications, is not sent to see a specialist of any kind and does not receive any special attention during labour. Person A delivers a perfectly healthy baby, on time with a very good birth weight.
This is where it gets weird
Person A walks away from the whole experience believing that while annoying, these complications where fairly routine and non life threatening.
Some months later, Person B tells Person A that she shouldn't attempt a second pregnancy. Person B claims that he/she spoke to a midwife whilst at the hospital and that this midwife tells him/her that Person A and Person A's baby nearly died in the night and that they came close to loosing both of them.
Person A has never suspected this. In Person A's opinion her treatment while in hospital and her notes show nothing of the sort.
Also Person A's husband, the closer relative, was never informed of this supposed near death experience and Person A's husband was not called to the hospital this night, or any night which it seems like he should have been had Person A and Baby A been at deaths door.
Person A also believes that, given that Person A was conscious and mentally sound the whole time, surely the doctors or someone would have revealed their concerns to Person A herself.
Person A believes that Person B might be making this 'near death' thing up for their own strange reasons, which are unknown.
TL/DR
Person B told Person A that they nearly died during a hospital stay when pregnant. Person A thinks this is not true as she was not told this. Surely the hospital would tell you if you nearly died?
