I had experience an emergency c-section for my 1st child. At that time, I was in labor for 20 hours. However, at the last minute, baby was in distress and had to opt for emergency c-section.
Everyone was telling me that there are many complications with C-section but somehow, I survived. It was quite amazing that I experienced both pain i.e. natural and C-section. Fulfilled and content feelings when I laid eyes at the beautiful and healthy baby. Plus, my husband's sparkling eyes while holding the baby in his arms..
Now, I am pregnant with my 2nd child. I'm truly unsure whether should I pursue with Vaginal Birth After Caesarian (VBAC) or Caesarian? Husband has been very supportive in the decision making. Both of us discussed our previous experience. Frankly, my last labor really affected him as well. For 5 days in the hospital, never once he left me alone. Proof - he had to pay 5 days parking ticket. :-)
In the end, we plan for C-section this upcoming Saturday. Our last meeting with the Doctor was just now and everything has been planned if the baby still wants to stay in the oven ;-) I know that I am not suppose to have second thoughts and must commit to my decisions. That is the whole reason I am writing in.. to make an affirmation.. :-)
Wish me luck! Am excited and nervous at the same time.. This will be my major achievement for this year.. insya Allah.
