On July 15, Singaporean rugby player Angelina Liu will make her second outing at the Nottingham Touch World Cup in what is a miraculous comeback for the 42-year-old.
In 2018, Liu gave birth to her second child but, in the next 24 hours, one of the happiest days of her life quickly turned into a horror show.
After spending the night in hospital, she returned home and felt well enough to do some household chores.
But after a few hours, she felt an intense soreness in her lower body.
While taking a shower, she was mortified to see an organ protruding out of her private parts.
The former national rugby sevens player told The Straits Times:
"It was very scary to see. I didn't know what to do. I (called) my brother in a very shaky voice, 'you have to send me to the hospital"> Doctors at the Parkway East Hospital eventually diagnosed her with a cervical prolapse, which often affects women after menopause or childbirth. The condition occurs when the muscles in the pelvis become weak, leading to one or more of the organs bulging into or out of the vagina.
Liu's heart sank when the gynaecologist delivered the devastating news she would never be able to run or carry her newborn ever again.
