#vrikshambirthstory Hi Anupama, we are married for 7.9 yrs. I have a history of 6 losses. 2 ectopic losses, 1 chemical pregnancy, 1 natural conception and miscarriage, and 2 IVF failures (after the double ectopic they suggested we go for IVF as both my fallopian tubes were examined and it was confirmed blocked). We experienced these losses for more than 4 years and were a bit down on hope. We first attended your July 2021 pre-pregnancy batch after an Instagram suggestion. We started to follow the diet, exercise, and other guidelines right away. We also attended your early pregnancy class in August 2022 and your labor management class in September 2022.

By god’s grace and your mantra ‘trust your body’ in our mind, we were able to conceive in March 2022 and we are happy to say that our little princess arrived on Nov 16th. The baby was miraculously a natural conception and the delivery was via the natural route (vacuum assisted).

Our delivery story is quite unique as our bundle of joy arrived eagerly at 35Weeks-6Days.  The Water broke early morning at around 3:45 am on Nov 16th and we immediately started to the hospital with help of our knowledge from labor management. Contraction started and it continued every 3 mins, the peak contractions were for 30 sec. Once we reached the hospital, they checked the baby’s heartbeat and my vitals, and we both were ok. I was a bit tense as we did not expect the baby’s arrival this early.

I always remembered your breathing techniques and the ‘trust your body’ mantra throughout my labor. The labour pain was for more than 5hrs and I was dilated for 10 centimeters by then. I was unable to bear pain by then and around 8:30 AM the duty doctor informed us they will go for a c-section due to the head position. Our main doctor arrived directly at the operation theatre at around 9 AM and the doctor decided on vaginal delivery (vacuum assisted). At 9:12 AM our little princess was in our hands.

Thanks for your support in pre-pregnancy, early pregnancy, and labor management classes. It really helped in preparing ourselves, staying calm, be aware of the situation during labor, and most importantly trust our body. I would happily recommend your classes for every couple trying to conceive (or already pregnant) as you guide us positively which is very important for the couple.
