"Actually on bed rest": When Deion Sanders' daughter Deiondra opened up about the gruesome side-effects of her pregnancy

Deion Sanders' daughter Deiondra Sanders's pregnancy journey with her newborn son, Baby Que, was eventful. Before the baby was born in August, Deiondra was experiencing complications concerning the birth.

In May 2024, Deiondra spoke about these complications to Gessie Taylor, an advocate for fibroids treatment, who posted a clip of their conversation on Instagram.

"I'm actually on bed rest now. Unfortunately. They said my cervix is opening up. Until I have the Cerlage surgery next week... I gotta sit my butt down. "

Deiondra underwent her Cerclage surgery a week later and also posted it on her Instagram.

Deion Sanders' daughter has been very open about the difficulties that she had in getting pregnant. She suffered from fibroids (non-cancerous growths in or around the womb), which affected her ability to safely bring the baby to term.

In order to remove these growths, she underwent four myomectomy surgeries. While this helped, it made her pregnancy even more risky.

So, it can be seen as a cause of celebration for all in the Sanders family when it was announced that Deiondra had given birth to a son, on Deion Sanders' birthday no less.

At the time, she posted the following on Instagram:

"WE MADE IT YALL🥹 Through every challenge—the fibroids, the threatened miscarriages, the shortened cervix, the cerclage, the myomectomies, the wisdom of age(keep it cute lol), the blood transfusions, placenta accreta and wanting to take my entire uterus, the bed rest, and the prayers to reach 28 weeks—by the grace of God, WE MADE IT. "

"This journey has been long, but seeing your face, my sweet baby boy, made every moment worthwhile. I am overjoyed to be your mom and can not wait to share a lifetime of love and adventures with you. I love you so much, Baby Que💙 I Love you so much Que💕"

Deion Sanders' daughter Deiondra made the decision to bank her son's stem cells

Deiondra Sanders has made the decision to bank her newborn son's stem cells with the Cord Blood Registry.

She wanted to do this to protect her family's health, combat any future illness, and help treat the more than 80 conditions that can be treated by the use of stem cells.

In the Instagram post signifying her decision to do this in September, Deiondra wrote:

"One of the most meaningful steps I took before my baby arrived was deciding to preserve their newborn stem cells with @cordbloodregistry."

"After researching, I realized this could be a crucial investment for my family’s future health. Stem cell research is evolving, and having this resource could potentially help us in ways we might not even imagine today. "

It has been an incredible journey for Deiondra Sanders in bringing baby Que into the world. However, he is now safe and will grow and become part of a family that has produced a number of successful athletes, including Grandpa Deion Sanders.
