My dad, Anand and I left for the hospital at 6 AM on Friday,
august 15th, 2015. I had already pre-registered the night before at
the hospital so that its easier to check in. The process was so straight
forward this time vs the natural labor progression. We waited in the room that
was allotted to us. I remember being very nervous despite being prepared for
this very thing for so long. Around 7:30 AM, Anand and I were ushered into the
ER. The nurses were really nice. I do love Milton District Hospital.
Everything with Tanush’s birth went really fast. In no time
my anesthesiologist administered the medication. My OBGYN with whom I had been
hooked up with since the onset of pregnancy was Dr. Glen Hunter. He is kind and
very reassuring. He kept updating me about what is happening on the table,
while making sure to leave out any detail that can cause anxiety to me.
Tanush Reddiar was born at 8:01 AM.
As the days go by, the memories seem to fade. So much so
that I started forgetting the timelines. Its best I (re)start writing everything
down.
Tanush’s birthdate, time was predetermined. I did not opt
for a VBAC and my doctor didn’t push me either about it. An elective C-Section
is always frowned upon but after Megha’s labor and eventual C-Section, it
didn’t make sense to try a VBAC.
