"Long story short, I was induced, labored for about 24 hours, then ended in an emergency C-section after several failed interventions. Baby girl was stressed and ready to be out, and despite reallyyyy wanting to have a natural birth, it was the best option for keeping baby and mama safe! She was big girl and had her own plans...so mama listened!"
