Episode 3: My C-Section Journey - Part 2
My second C-section story is my first attempt at a VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean). I spent this pregnancy educating myself more about vaginal births and how to avoid a C-section. However, I was diagnosed with another case of gestational diabetes, which led to a scheduled induction. As luck would have it, I went into spontaneous labor the day before my induction. With the help of my fiancé, doula, and a fairly supportive medical team, I was able to make it through 19 hours of labor. Unfortunately, a last-minute decision to give me Benadryl to help me rest led to a prolonged heart rate decel - which ultimately resulted in my second C-section.
