💁🏼‍♀️Disclaimer-The content is not suitable for children, oldies, people with weak heart. Well suitable for super women💁🏼‍♀️Preggers. It was a Monday evening(7th may’18) and I had come for my regular 35weeks appointment. I always try to schedule my appointment in the beginning so I dont have to wait.This time too I was the first patient! The sister called out my name n went in.. My doc before examining my baby asked generally how I am.. and I responded, I am doing well besides a slight abdominal pain since yesterday.. She said “lets do ur two finger test” & I was numb. She inserted and her those four words just shook the earth below me! “YOUR CONTRACTIONS HAVE STARTED” Get admitted right now!
In for a general appointment, clueless wots gonna happen, I went to labour room, which I never dreamt of I will go so early. I was kept under observation the entire night to see how frequently my contractions were coming and was given a pain stopping medicine to really find if they were false or true contractions.But at the same time I was induced with a lung maturity dosage, just in case the contractions rise.Gossiping with fellow preggers and Praying the entire night that these turn out to be false contractions, the sun rose by!
Next day (8th May”18), My pains had almost stopped n I was all set that my doc would give me a green signal to go home n come when it is actual time.. But less did I know that God has different plans for me.Doc suggested me to get my last US which was ought to happen in 36th week to see how the baby was doing if she/he gets delivered now! By god’s grace, the health of the baby was good than a just 35week baby and the weight showed 2.8kgs to which doc doctor said-Because the baby is doing well n if v have to deliver now, it wont be a problem fr both mommy n baby.That gave me a sigh of relief knowing that my pains have also ceased n baby is doing well too!
Thambaaa guys!!The movie has just started📸
I went back to labour room and doc instructed the nurse to induce me a second dosage of pain stopper medicine and Meanwhile I headed to washroom with an urge to pee and saw a discharge right down there and pressed the emergency bell of the washroom & called the nurse immediately! She said “apke toh labour pain shuru ho chuke h”..Doc came and checked and told its a mucus plug which cant be stopped and these are the true signs of labour too! By then I had left everything on my doc and all I wanted was my baby to be healthy.. I was then induced the pains vaginally.. (Terrible it was!) I never waited this much for pains to come ever.. With the hope for pains to arise the time for second dosage came and this time it was even more terrible! I
It was 9th Morning and I was tired both mentally and physically with no signs of pains. Meanwhile I was continuously on NST to monitor the baby’s heart rate. Doc came and said we would monitor was till evening and then take a call! Almost all the nurses, duty doctors, pantry bhaiya and co-bed sharers became my gossip sharers. Seeing everyone getting delivered normally and even c-sectionally, had put a stone on my heart, making me think what the hell is happening with me..People are coming and going with their babies in hand and I am still on the same bed from past 2 days unknown to the fact when will my baby come!! With multiple thoughts playing soccer in mind, I had almost lost my mental stability and as the result Around 6:30pm , NST scan started showing a high heart rate which was just not a good sign. The baby was in stress!!! I started chanting “jai mata di!”All in vain, the heart rate remained constant between 160-170 which was quite high! I could overhear the conversation between my husband & duty doctor outside.My Doctor came on her evening round and after checking my pulse and NST scan said-“Baby’s heart rate is getting high, we have to go for caesarian right now!
I held her hand and said I trust you doc! Her smile gave me all assurance that everything’s gonna be just fine!
With zero preparations and knowledge about c-section delivery( P.S-After so much of precautions,regular walks, eating habits, normal scans & carefulness thru out the pregnancy,I was so positive that I will deliver a normal baby), I was highly strung!
All I remember is, with tears rolling down on my cheeks, after seeing a glimpse of my husband and family members and my husband saying “I am waiting for you and our JUNO (Junior)” I was shifted to OT in a jiffy!
With almost freezing temperature in the OT and hefty machines besides me, I was already under half anaesthesia😂.
With almost 7-10 doc around and a layer of sheet in front, I was given that anaesthesia I always dreaded of. With no sense and feel what is happening below me, all I could hear the doc talking about the scissors. I was shivering as if I was taken to north pole! I kept on asking the doctor, what was happening, to which she replied-I havnt seen such a anxious talkative patient ever😎. This dint stop me asking the other doc besides me😎. Suddenly the same doc besides started pushing my stomach and I could feel a sudden push and wooosha🤩, I heard the much much much awaited thin melodious sound(not so melodious now) of crying...Words definitely cant express how I felt at that moment.. I immediately asked- Is my baby out??? Andddddd the answer was a big YES🙏🏻😇 from all the doctors!
My eyes constantly on my right side where the pediatrics were cleaning and measuring the baby, I thanked god for everything he has done to bestow this bundle of joy on me!
Wrapped in green cloth, the doc brought the baby to me and said congratulations its a baby girl! That first cuddle and kiss is still in my eyes, mind and soul😇. While the doc did the stitches, I was still awestruck of my baby’s first look..
After getting shifted to recovery room, the wait to see my baby and offcourse that glow in my husband’s eyes, was just getting thinner! One hour after, I was shifted to room and the celebration begannnn!🎉💃🏽🧚🏻‍♀️
I know I have been a time taking writer but trust me I still have an another amazing post-delivery story to write in. (If you allow😉)
P.S-After all the juggle and struggle, I dont know why but I feel what ever god does, is always for the best!🙏🏻
May be god knew, being a super sensitive person I dont have the threshold to bear the labour pains and he this he had stored this in for me.. For those who are apprehensive about c-sec delivery, Trust me, it just doesnt matter how your baby comes out, if the baby is healthy, its all worth it!
On special request of @Parul soni and smita, here is my experience on recovery from C-section! Guys it is NOT tough.. My princess is 14days old today and I am up on toes since day 2. Yes, the pains subside in a couple of days or so but walking and diet helps!

💁🏼‍♀️Thankyou for reading in for a while😘
The only difference 🤩
Before-🤰🏻
Now-🤱🏼
