I went into this pregnancy carrying the fear of my previous loss, but also holding on to the hope of having a VBAC. I did everything I could to prepare myself, both physically and mentally, and I truly believed things would go as planned. However, after two days of labour, my body was not progressing, and my baby’s safety became the priority. In that moment, I had to make a decision I wasn’t ready for—an emergency C-section. It wasn’t easy to accept. For a brief moment, I felt like I had failed, especially because VBAC meant so much to me. But when I look back now, I see it differently. This was never about how I gave birth. It was about choosing what was safest for my baby when it mattered the most. I tried for a VBAC, and when things didn’t go as expected, I chose differently. That doesn’t make this a failure. I have gone through a C-section not once, but twice, and I would do it all over again for my kids. My labour may not have gone as planned, but it is still one of strength, choice, and love. ♥️ Thanks to @dr.tarunjoseph and his whole team of doctors who were very patient and gave me the chance to try for a VBAC, and guided me through every decision.😇✨
