The Bachelor’s Tim Robards has recalled the moment he feared he’d lose his wife Anna Heinrich.
Anna, 37, faced a life-threatening situation during the birth of the couple’s second daughter Ruby earlier this year.
Despite initially thinking everything had gone smoothly with the birth, Tim’s wife faced sudden and severe postpartum bleeding and was rushed into emergency surgery.
‘I could see the fear in the doctor’s eyes that she had been through a lot, it was pretty touch and go,’ the chiropractor told the Daily Telegraph.
‘That’s when it hit home, it is all pretty safe these days and to think I could have been a single dad with two girls hits home and makes you really appreciate having each other.’

Anna also recently opened up about the medical emergency.
‘With my first child Elle I had a C-section and we later found out that she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck twice,’ she recounted during an interview with the same publication in April.
‘The birth itself was fine and I had Ruby on my chest and I thought everything had gone really well. Then all of a sudden, they said that they thought I was clotting.’

The situation escalated quickly as her bleeding wouldn’t stop.
‘I handed Ruby over to my husband and they called the obstetrician back… I could see everyone started to get a little bit worried because I wouldn’t stop bleeding and they didn’t know why,’ she explained.
Following another surgery, which unexpectedly extended from 40 minutes to two hours, the severity of the situation became clear.
Her obstetrician later informed her husband that if not for the immediate medical intervention and the facilities available at the hospital, the outcome could have been fatal.
Anna spent the night in the intensive care unit as a precaution.
At the time of her interview, Anna admitted her mental recovery is still continuing.
Anna and Tim also share another daughter Elle, three.
