Imma Probable NDE

Experience Description

I was hospitalized because my child was dead in utero. I was 8 months along. On my way to practice birthing, I felt as if I would faint and I told the doctors that I was leaving my body. Upon awakening I explained to my family that I had risen to a sort of meadow--very green--and that I'd seen deceased family members.
