Episode 06: Feelings After Finding Out Baby #2 Will Be Out via Caesarean

How do I feel after finding out that Baby #2 will be out via Caesarean operation? While I may sound very confident and bossy, delivering a baby is still a scary event. My first was delivered naturally 5 years ago and it was a painless breeze thanks to the mighty epidural. However, the second one is in breech position so we are forced to have him via caesarean section so it's a brand new adventure for me.

We are very excited though with the coming of our miracle baby. After Aeva and three separate miscarriages, one of which was somewhat life-threatening, we realize that this baby is such a blessing to have. Up until today, we still cannot believe that we are having our second (and maybe our last), and we just thank the Lord for granting us one last baby before we retire.

The timing is weird --- it will be in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy isn't doing well. Everyone is afraid. But babies are supposed to provide some hope. That in the midst of chaos, God is in control. And despite the rainy days, there's always sunshine and rainbows in the horizon. Hence for Episode 06: Tina in Manila will Talk About the Real Feelings of an Impending Childbirth.
