My chocolate drop

Gloria

I loved reading all your birth stories so here is mine. I was scheduled for CS at 39 weeks exactly (30/01/2022) if I didn't go into labor naturally by then. I tried walking everyday to induce labor a week prior to that because I so much wanted a VBAC. This baby is my third. My first was natural, my second Emergency CS due to complete placenta previa.

My contractions set in 10pm on 27/01/2022 but were inconsistent. My water broke out in a gush when I tried to use the toilet at 2:30am. Got to the hospital at 4:15am and was only 2 cm dilated. I was given a bed anyway because my contractions were beginning to hit fast and painful (I live one and half hours drive away). At 6am, the contractions got really bad and I remembered the pain of doing a natural birth with my first. I guess I wasn't well prepared for the same experience so I requested for a CS. 28/01/2022 at 9:17am, my chocolate drop was in my arms. She weighed 7.08 lbs. Just love to have her with me 😘.
