Birth Stories

Complications Before the Birth

Complications during pregnancy or during your labour can be tough to deal with when you are already handling so many new experiences and choices. Read the stories of parents who have coped with complications during their own pregnancies or birth, and how they found ways to ensure they made the choices that were right for them, even when things did not go to plan.

Jill's story (Ewan's birth)
In the middle of Jill's second pregnancy, it was discovered that she had placenta previa, where the placenta is lying very near to or covering the cervix. Soon after, she began to have bouts of serious bleeding and was hospitalized several times before her baby was born by emergency caesarean at nearly 35 weeks.
 

Elise's story
Elise had her second child naturally. Up until the day she went into labour, her daughter had been in the breech position (head down), but turned after an external cephalic version done by her doctor on her due day.
 

Sandra's story
Sandra had her second baby exactly as she had planned. Several days before he was born, Sandra's membranes ruptured prematurely. After investigating all of their options, Sandra and her husband decided to wait for labour to start spontaneously, with close monitoring of her baby.
