My Previous Delivery Was A C-Section

Hi All,  I would like to share my birth story

On the 3rd of August, I started feeling slight pain in my lower abdomen, where the pain was irregular and remain the same till the 5th of August. On the 5th of August, I visited my doctor in Sonipat where I came to know that I was 2cm dilated.

With such pains on the 6th of August, we went to Cloudnine Hospital in Gurugram where Dr. Nitika Sobti advised me to get admitted immediately since this was my 2nd pregnancy and my previous delivery was c-sec. At 9 pm I started feeling strong contractions. As taught by Neeru Ma’am I was walking in the room, doing squats, listening to my favourite music, got my back massaged and doing breathing exercises. At around 11pm I was 3cm dilated And taken to the labour room. I requested for an epidural but my doctor advised me not to take an epidural since I had c-sec previously, so it might be risky. At 12:30 am I was 8 cm dilated and my doctor burst my water bag and then she asked me to push, which was the toughest job. Finally at 1:18 am I delivered normally and was blessed with baby boy “Pavith”

The whole journey of my pregnancy was so wonderful and I never thought of normal delivery after having c-sec previously.

Thanks to Neeru Ma’am for guiding me at every small step because of which I was able to prepare myself for normal delivery.

And also I want to thank Dr. Nitika Sobti and her team for motivating me throughout the delivery.
