My Cervix Had Only Dilated 30% After 15 Hours of Labour

By 16th July I had already completed 37 weeks and went to the doctor for a routine weekly check-up. He had just finished guiding me regarding labor. And on the very night which was the 17th of July early morning at 1:30 my water broke and I had to go to the hospital. The doctor advised that we can wait for 24 hours before we take a call regarding c-section till then we will do our best to reach normal delivery. Till 7:30am I didn't have proper contractions. The exercises that Bhavna taught helped me stay positive and calm.

I did my breathing exercises and walking. I was given medicine for inducing pain. At around 11am contractions started and the entire three months that I practiced exercises with Bhavna helped me bear the pain. Till 5pm I was in labor but my cervix had only dilated 30%. Another thing was that baby's head wasn't set and the cervix axis was not in line with the baby's head so finally, at 5 pm we took a call to go for a c-section. Even post c-section, I was able to gain back strength all thanks to Bhavna's guidance pre-delivery and I really feel it has 100 percent to do with my recovery. In a day l was able to walk. Thank you for such dedication and guidance. 😍
