Experiences triggered by childbirth complications
NDEs during childbirth are unique — they often involve the experiencer encountering their unborn or recently born child in the NDE realm, or being told they must return for the sake of their baby.

I did not have the 'tunnel experience' many others have had. I was hovering over my family. I knew I was dead and felt guilty that my wife and children were crying over me while I was feeling so good. I wanted them to be dead with me and tried to let...
I had my daughter at 12:07 pm. At 2:00 pm, I looked at the clock knowing it was time to bring my daughter in for me to see. The nurse came in and as I looked at the clock, I told her, I am sick. The nurse just took off running. That's all I remember ...
It was just right and one of the few memories of a perfect time that I keep. I was struck by a car in 1983. The experience caused a great shift in me I see the whole of it as an awakening, a blessing and something that was a gift that remains yet unm...
