Hi Akka! Here goes my birth story. To start with, I have one strong message- “Your body also can fail; your body can give up; but trust your innerself”.
This is our rainbow baby. We have a elder daughter who was waiting to have a sibling. We started planning for our second child when she was almost 5. And it happened after 2 long years of struggle, almost she is going to be 7.

We found we were pregnant during last Navrathri, Oct 2020. Again, we started off with dreams of becoming parents and our girl is a big sister. Shattered all our hopes, we started spotting again at 6w, same way where we lost both our previous pregnancies. But our gynaecologist, my saviour, put me on progesterone, gave me bed rest and we crossed the first trimester!

Then, everything went very smooth. We were very happily traveling together with our elder one excited seeing my bump grow 😊. We reached 36w, when we found AFI was fluctuating . Doctor suggested lots of fluid intake. Every week checkup, we made it to 38.1w. Water dropped drastically, admitted immediately morning 8:30 , Jun 20.Contractions started , but not so strong. Since fluid was low, they stimulated with Syntocin. Tada! 3cm-5cm. Then no progress until 5:30. Squats, walking, lounges- no progress. Then they suggested me for epidural and yes! 7-8 cm immediately, with in 30 min i was fully dilated. Around 7:25pm, I started to push and 7:33 pm, our much wanted baby, our precious angel arrived crying within 3-4 pushes. We couldn’t control, my elder one wanted a sister and yes! We gave her what she wanted!

One last message akka- Donot give up. We lost our first baby on 1st Jan 2020 where the heartbeat stopped at 8w. Ofcourse it was painful, we had our bad days. Then again, we got pregnant- lost the baby again- April 2020, where it was a blighted ovum. And June 2021, we are parents of a precious angel.

Our body signals right and can do miracles! Trust urself and Anu akka- thanks for making this Vriksham in us! You are truly a god sent angel! Lots of love and may God continue to bless you! Looking and wishing forward to meet u sometime soon ❤️.
