Presenter and radio journalist Tuija Pehkonen suffered from severe nausea of pregnancy, i.e. hyperemesis, while expecting her second child, and had to be hospitalized during her pregnancy for a fluid drip.
Well before the calculated time, Pehkonen developed a high fever, the cause of which was revealed in the hospital to be blood poisoning. Pehkonen’s condition quickly deteriorated in the hospital and the situation became life-threatening for Pehkonen and the baby. Pehkonen and Eero Ettala’s child was born by emergency C-section.

– The weeks we spent in the hospital are the scariest of my life so far, and it’s still hard to talk about it. I am really grateful to the Finnish medical care that we are both alive, Pehkonen says in the interview with Anna.
– I learned last year that there can always be absolutely terrible things waiting around the corner. I suddenly fell ill and was about to die. After that, I can no longer fear the future. I prefer to believe that good things can also be expected around the corner with just as much probability, says Pehkonen in an interview.
