Warning: this post is pretty long, but I tried to record everything from my birth story. I don’t want to forget anything. I not only want to share my story with all of you but I also want to have it as a memory for myself to look back on.
If you read my birth story for Jack, (Read that story HERE) you already know that he was born by c-section. It was unexpected and caused because his head was facing up and no matter how hard I pushed he wouldn’t come out. I was never against having another c-section birth, but I wanted to avoid it if I could. A c-section is major abdominal surgery and I worried how I’d recover with a newborn and a 4-year-old at home with me. My first choice was to try a VBAC first and let the baby come naturally. I also knew that I didn’t want to go past that 40-week mark, so I scheduled a back-up repeat c-section for 39 weeks. I honestly didn’t know what to expect this time around, so I prepared myself for anything.
