Becoming a mom for the first time should be a very unforgettable moment in a person\u2019s life. For 38-year-old Camre Curto, however, that memory has been wiped.<\/span>After giving birth to her son, Camre couldn\u2019t remember her fianc\u00e9\u2019s name, or even that she\u2019d just given birth.<\/span>\u201cShe didn\u2019t know who she was, didn\u2019t know who I was, didn\u2019t know she even just gave birth to Gavin,\u201d Steve, who is now her husband, told InsideEdition.com<\/a>.<\/span>\u201cIt was like the eraser just came out,\u201d Camre said of the experience.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Inside Edition<\/span>
\n<\/span>After Camre\u2019s doctors realized what was happening, they did tests on the new mom. They discovered that she had suffered brain damage during childbirth.<\/span>It caused her to lose her long-term memory, short-term memory, and ability to create new memories.<\/span>\u201cThis is a really, really rare case,\u201d Camre\u2019s occupational therapist, Jessica Smith, explained. \u201cEvery case is unique, right? But in the context of really having a baby and then this is what happens, Camre is the only case I\u2019ve had in 10 years.\u201d<\/span>What happened to Camre began when she was seven months pregnant in 2012.<\/span>\u201cShe developed some nausea and stuff, and one day her throat was swelling,\u201d Steve recalled. \u201cHer mom took her down to the hospital real quick and she ended up having a grand mal seizure.\u201d<\/span>This type of event involves losing consciousness and having violent muscle contractions.<\/span>Doctors determined Camre had undiagnosed preeclampsia<\/a>, a serious but common condition in pregnant women that causes high blood pressure and swelling in the legs and feet. When it went untreated, it turned into a rare preeclampsia where the high blood pressure led to seizures. She was given an emergency C-section and then put in a medically induced coma.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Inside Edition<\/span>Steve learned that the swelling in her throat had prevented oxygen from getting to her brain. Coupled with the seizures, it became clear she\u2019d suffered brain damage. She didn\u2019t remember anyone, including her parents. They cared for her throughout her recovery, and Steve cared for Gavin.<\/span>Over the seven years since, Camre\u2019s family has rallied around her. She\u2019s relearned who everyone is, but she\u2019s still working with occupational therapists on memory techniques. Steve began writing a book about their journey during that time, which Camre later helped him finish.
