First off, congratulations on the 1k+ followers sis!. Nahiya ang 500+ followers ko.lol
I know that the pain you felt last year was not an easy one and I won't pretend to know how much it hurts but someday, we will realize why it happened and that there is a bigger picture involved in here. All in good time.
So here goes my participation to this contest. I had been planning to post this next month on the anniversary but maybe I can give a short version one now :)
4th quarter of 2016, my partner and I were very happy to find out we were about to have a baby. Since then, I had been taking extra care of myself because of my baby. I had been doing a lot of research on how to take care of my baby inside me and planned to do a natural birth. I even considered not taking an anesthesia. With that plan in mind, I arranged my diet and stayed out of unhealthy and fatty food so that my baby will just be the right size and it will be easier for me to do it naturally.
But then, things don't usually go as planned right? On my 36th week, I woke up and found myself bleeding (like a lot!) and immediately told my partner about it. After an hour, we found ourselves on our doctor's clinic. She initially told me to have a bed rest because my baby was not due yet but then she later insisted I go on an emergency c-section. It was too early! It was a very traumatic day for me and my partner. And all those happened too fast that before we knew it, we already have our baby in the outside world. I was not a fan of hospitals to begin with and never had undergone any operation or hospitalization since I recovered from my asthma when I was just a baby so being in a hospital was new for me. But then on that day, all the things I had been dreading to experience...catheter, anesthesia, a SURGERY...all these happened to me in just a few hours.
My plan did not work out but in the end, our baby came out fine and strong and for that, we will forever be grateful to THE ONE UP THERE. I wear this scar everyday now but it is a badge of honor for me because out of this ugly scar came out my most beautiful and precious gift.
amazing story sis... reading your story made me recall our experience as well except that you had a baby out of your tummy while mine was a thick blood clot. Thank God for your healthy and strong baby!
I'm sorry if it made you recall a painful memory. But like I said, all in good time sis. Just like one song goes,
yes sis.. thanks a lot!
