Three weeks before her baby was due, Jennifer Juarez knew something was wrong when she didn't feel her baby kicking anymore.
Jennifer went for a check-up and found herself quickly undergoing an emergency c-section.
It turns out the child suffered a fetal-maternal hemorrhage.
Hope’s condition was so poor that doctors couldn't get a blood sample when they pricked her foot.
That resulted in little Hope Juarez being born without about 80% of her blood and with an opaque appearance.
Hospital workers quickly gave the baby a blood transfusion, and she began to rally.
Dr. Marielle Nguyen at Kaiser Permanente in Irvine, California told ABC7 the condition is still somewhat of a mystery.
"We don't know what causes it. A lot of it is just it happens spontaneously. Sometimes the cause could be a motor vehicle accident, trauma, or where we have placental rupture, where the placenta suddenly just comes off the uterine wall."
