The otherwise healthy mother was diagnosed with a rare, but serious heart condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection or SCAD.
mother diagnosed with the rare, but serious heart condition is on the road to recovery after suffering a series of heart attacks following the birth of her third child.
"The way I felt something was not right," Littlejohn said. "I went to pick the baby up and that's when I felt something really strong on my chest as if an elephant was sitting on me or something."Littlejohn was transferred to another hospital where she underwent triple bypass surgery. SCAD is often thought of as a threat during pregnancy, but a recent study found the most dangerous period was actually the month after delivery.
Health experts there say Littlejohn's condition was so delicate they had to increase her physical activity slowly.
