Cesarean Delivery on My 1st Baby to Normal Vaginal Delivery on My 2nd

Each birth story of ours is precious and really hard, but my second pregnancy is the scariest thing that happened to me.

I was regularly checked by my doctor. No pressure because I was scheduled for a cesarean delivery (CS) since my 1st baby’s history is CS also. However, what happened was that on my 37th-week pregnancy, I was scheduled for a swab test since my schedule was near and my CS schedule was moved due to super typhoon Karding.

My new schedule was now on October 1, 2022, but then, I kept experiencing, not just Braxton Hicks, but painful abdominal pain—I couldn’t take it anymore. I went to the hospital on September 29, 2022, by evening, and right then, I was already 4cm.

It was 9 pm in the evening I was told that there was no attending doctor yet to perform my operation. I was told by the midwife and nurses to wait for the doctor. My horror was that my cm kept on getting higher, too! It was very painful.

My labour turns to 7cm when the doctor came. And she pushed me to do a normal vaginal delivery since my baby was coming out already.

It was very painful for 8 hours with no epidural, no anesthesia just pure pain until I gave birth at 3 am in the morning on September 30, 2022.

Two midwives helped me push my stomach down so that I could deliver the baby. My thought was that it was really hard to give birth in public hospitals. Since they were the ones who would decide, which is opposite to private hospitals where your delivery decision is very important.

I’m still thankful that we are safe and my last thought about giving birth was this should be my last. We need to be financially and emotionally ready for the next baby because I feel so traumatized.
