Anuradha & Surya's birth story continued ✨
Vijaya mam said my baby's heart rate was going down and I might need an episiotomy. But she assured me that's not the first option and she wouldn't do any procedure without my consent. They gave me an IV drip and oxygen mask. Slowly the heart rate improved, but we didn't have much time so Vijaya mam asked me to push harder. For some reason, I was not panicked even when the heart rate was going down. I knew they would take care and I was just listening to her. After 5-6 pushes around 7:30 AM, the baby boy was out without any intervention. 3.45 kgs of happiness and joy 😊
After delivering placenta, Vijaya mam told me that the cord was very short which led to lower heart rate.
Sanctum gives a lot of comfort. Their support was incredible throughout the pregnancy. Diet and yoga classes really helped me. Big thanks to Shruti for the Lamaze classes. They were very informative and helped us to understand the situations better.
The doctors listen to the issues and don't dismiss them and most importantly they never treated me like a patient. They explained WHY for every issue or the discomfort, not just giving some prescription and saying "ya this is common". My pregnancy overall was very smooth.
Thanks to Vijaya mam, Kiran, Smitha, Dhwani, Eugine and the nursing staff for all the support during pregnancy, labour and postpartum. Sanctum will always remain a special place in our hearts❤️
