Tell us your birth storyOn April 8, one day before being two weeks over my due date of March 26, I went into hospital for a balloon induction. Unfortunately I wasn't able to have the induction due to my water leaking and was kept in overnight. The next day on April 9 due to many unfortunate circumstances I was strongly recommended to have an emergency c-section. So I decided for mine and Rowan's health we should go forward with the c-section and at 10:23am we met Rowan for the first time.
