Hello Anu akka, I am Suganya, your May month labor management Student. I would like to share my pregnancy and delivery experience. I got married in 2020 and we planned to have a baby after one year of marriage.

Within four months of planning, we got pregnant. I was working at MNC on the night shift by that time. Everything went well, but after the 4th month, I was unable to continue my job due to continuous vomiting as my job demands to speak to my clients whereas I was unable to do it.
During my 7th-month check-up, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes for which I started taking medicines. It was not under control, so I was advised to take insulin every day. I was also on a strict diet and I cut down the white rice and switched to millets. I also controlled the portion I ate and did walking religiously.
Monitored my glucose level keenly and maintained it under control. The doctor mentioned there might be some effects on the baby due to the high level of glucose but by god’s grace, he was perfectly growing in my Womb.
After a few months, I traveled to Tindivanam (mom’s place) where I planned my delivery. I went for a check-up at the new hospital and everything went well for a while then the doctor told me that baby’s weight gain is lacking. I was taking astymin trips every alternative day. Got admitted to take a dexa injection (lungs growth steroid, in case the baby was born prematurely) and my gestational diabetes started fluctuating between high and low.
Even after two weeks of every try baby is still measured small and on top of it came to know low blood and oxygen supply in the umbilical cord which may make baby not gain weight. By the end of the 37th week, the doctor advised induction.
After admission doctor mentioned the possibilities of normal delivery and the risks of putting an IUGR baby under pressure. After discussing with the family heavy heartedly went for C-section as I don’t want to put my baby at risk at any cost.
I believed I will be able to deliver a baby normally but it made me feel proud that I am strong enough to choose c-section for my baby’s wellness as you taught us that “we need positive delivery” whether it’s normal or c-section. My baby boy of 2.440 kg weight born on June 11th at 11:14 am.

Thank you a lot Akka for your guidance and made me have a positive childbirth experience 💕💕🤗🤗🤗# lots of love to Anu akka

Thanks and Regards,
Suganya
