Diya Saxena, a 35-year-old marketing manager,...
Diya Saxena, a 35-year-old marketing manager, was pregnant with her second child after a previous C-section for breech presentation. She strongly desired a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). At 40 weeks, she went into spontaneous labor. Her obstetrician, Dr. Mehta, supported her VBAC attempt under close monitoring in the labor suite. Diya labored for 8 hours, managing pain with an epidural. She successfully delivered a healthy baby boy vaginally, with no complications. Recovery was smoother than her C-section; she was walking and bonding with her newborn within hours. Diya felt determined yet fearful of another surgery before the birth. Afterward, she was profoundly grateful and proud, feeling a sense of closure and physical victory that enhanced her early motherhood experience.
