After 42 weeks of pregnancy, two days of undergoing inducement and physical stress onrepparttar baby, my daughter was delivered via an emergency C-section. Oh, it was music to my ears when my gynecologist arrived in my hospital room at 4:30 a.m. and told me they were going to do an emergency C-section. I must have been in shock or delirious! However, after going through a traumatic two days, I had had enough and I wanted to meet this precious baby who lived inside of me for 9+ months.

The time came and I was wheeled torepparttar 111165 operating room, and what a blessed event it was to see my sweet new baby girl!

I wasn’t prepared forrepparttar 111166 aftermath of a C-Section but I am so grateful that I had a great family who were there for me and helped me every step ofrepparttar 111167 way.

2) Try not to be upset if you are told you have to undergo a C-section to deliver your baby.

Plenty of women feel put down and feel less like a woman because they did not deliver their baby throughrepparttar 111169 hard work of labour. I know it is emotionally hard. Truly,repparttar 111170 main concern is you and your baby’s health and that is more important than how you delivered your baby.

3) Expect a brief hospital stay. My daughter and I were inrepparttar 111171 hospital for four days afterrepparttar 111172 birth. If you require assistance at any time in caring for you or your baby, are uncomfortable due torepparttar 111173 pain, or have any questions, do not be afraid to ask for help. There were times when I was too proud to pressrepparttar 111174 buzzer to ask for assistance. But, believe me, their assistance is very much required, especially withrepparttar 111175 care of your newborn baby.
