#VrikshamBirthStory

This is Janaki Boopalan. Your pre pregnancy and labor management student. Here comes my birth story. I had month on month pregnancy complications like 3rd month scan they said blood clot issue, in 5th month low Hb, in 7th month I had hemorrhoids problem.

Luckily, I had best gynecologist Dr. Ashwin Rao who gave me all positive vibes. From the beginning and gave correct suggestions for all these problems and cured everything in a correct time.

From week 25 all my scan report shown baby presentation as transverse till 39 weeks. I followed all your labor exercises except duck walk. Since my tummy was big at that time I couldn’t able to do that also I have gained 20 kg during the pregnancy. As my baby in transverse position, I requested you in WhatsApp and asked for birth ball suggestion. As per your suggestion I followed birth ball exercises which is the only trick I followed for transverse baby.

On 38th week doctor said we will go for C section and baby position is transverse still. I requested for ECV as I didn’t have any other option. He said it’s very tough as baby weight is 3500 g and it will risk baby. On my last hope I requested to wait 2 more weeks also we have waited and in between we have checked 2 scans to check baby presentation and all results baby in transverse position. So, we admitted in the hospital on a day before my due date 9 Nov 2021 for planned C section on 10 Nov 2021 and paid advance for operation. On friendly note I have asked my doctor to check baby position on 10 Nov. he did PV exam and miracle happened he replied I could feel baby’s head down let’s go for final scan and confirm. I replied my thumbs up to him with tears. As expected, scan doctor also said “ok position done”. But I have planned for both c section and vaginial birth with knowledge of your class. Still, I wanted to try my best in all way was my motive. So, after scan I have been sent to labor ward at 11 pm on Nov 10th. My doctor didn’t allow my husband in labor ward. He has allowed one female so my father’s sister took care of me like my mother till my entire labor. On 11th Nov after 17 hours of labor pain and struggle I delivered boy baby weights 3580 g vaginally.
