For over two decades no one in her family had had a vaginal birth. Being short statured with a low BMI, everyone told her she would&nbsp;never have a vaginal birth. But Monica and Aaron were very motivated to give it their best and have as natural a birth as possible. At 19 weeks, Monica required&nbsp;a stitch in her cervix to prevent a miscarriage. She was understandably apprehensive but remained positive. Meanwhile, Monica attended the childbirth classes and practiced her breathing and relaxation techniques; perineal massage from 35 Wks and other exercises she hoped to use during labour.<\/p>\n<p>At 38 weeks, Monica began&nbsp;regular waves. When they became intense, she was advised by her doula to visit the hospital. Monica was found to be 3 cms open. She soon began bearing down and half an hour later spontaneously birthed her little baby girl. Over the next hour and a half, Monica enjoyed giving skin-to-skin to her baby. Monica and Aaron were thrilled and grateful that they could carry this baby to term and birth her without any interventions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storkhome.in\/thebirthingbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-Monica-and-Aarons-birth-story-01.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storkhome.in\/thebirthingbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-Monica-and-Aarons-birth-story-02526.png\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storkhome.in\/thebirthingbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-Monica-and-Aarons-birth-story-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Congratulations Monica and Aaron for believing in yourself.
