A Positive VBAC Birth Story of a short mother

I am Sushma Gujjula. Yes, I am a short Mamma, who is not even 5′ in height (4’10” to be exact), and I had a C-section the first time.

I am a working woman, and I continued my job even after 36 weeks complete! Except me and my family, everyone worried about me! All my colleagues suggested that I go on leave and take rest! Some would counsel (without my asking them!) “Why are you struggling for normal delivery, which is an impossible thing for a mother with previous C section?” Sometimes, I used to feel low, discouraged by their words.

But. .But..But… Immediately I used to get boosted up by “The Sanctum” ..With their energy booster words and encouragement, I continued my job till 39 weeks +….Till the day I started getting contractions, I continued my job!

“HATS OFF & THANKS TO SANCTUM”

Thank you, for the Yoga classes by Sanjana. Your amazing breathing techniques helped me a lot during labor. Thanks, Sanjana

Thanks for the Lamaze Classes. These classes are really mandatory for every mom and dad. They help in achieving mental strength. Counseling classes by Udaya are really excellent..I am one best example for that!! I had a lot of fear of pain – But, I Did It!!! 💪🏻 It is both shocking and amazing to me!! Thank you, Udaya

Thanks for the Aerobics Classes. Usually, we think we should not strain ourselves in pregnancy, especially after Week 36. Everybody prefers to take rest. But here at The Sanctum, it is different. Everyone enjoys, moves, squats, dances, and stretches their endurance – and enjoys the Aerobics Classes. It should be experienced, it cannot be explained! This different and amazing prenatal aerobics is totally worth every minute of the workout!! Thanks again, Udaya

Thank you Crystal and Kiran. Your smiling welcome into the consultation room, makes us comfortable in asking and getting our doubts cleared

Special thanks to the dynamic lady behind this excellent team. The Captain of the ship – Vijaya Krishnan – for gifting us a lifetime memory of bringing our baby into our arms, and witnessing our baby’s birth. You empowered us, encouraged us, and helped us in bringing our dream into reality. Without you, I could not have delivered a 3.1 kg baby girl, through a perfectly natural birth! Thank you Madam, for adding me into the list of successful VBAC mothers!!.

Thank you, Team Sanctum 💜

Yours lovingly,
Sushma Ravi
