International Cesarean Awareness Network

 Hi!!  My Name is Sara Kerr!  I live in Lubbock, Texas, where I grew up & I love it!  I married the love of my life, Kris Kerr, on August 24, 2007 & we had our precious baby boy, Kylin Alan, on January 21, 2008.  

Despite how I wanted my labor & delivery to go, I ended up choosing to be induced 10 days early due to Calcium building in my placenta, Kylin getting big & my hips being too narrow…which later lead to his head getting stuck in my cervix, swelling & not progressing, therefore having to go through a C-Section.  Recovery was not the easiest thing in the world & it sure did make it hard to take care of my little one & love him the way I wanted to, but we all make it through & just have to learn from it.  We are planning on trying for another baby when Kylin turns 2yrs, but we are praying that things can go a little smoother next time.  I don’t think I am willing to risk having a HBAC, however, I have mentioned a VBAC to my doctor, and Thank God he is willing to do it, he says it is my choice!  I am hoping if things go as well as I pray they do, I will be able to have my next little angel on my own, in the hospital, with no induction & I am going to try for no pain meds as well.  I just hope that if anything serious were to happen they can get that Epidural in Fast!  If anything goes wrong during the pregnancy I will be more than willing to get the baby out C-Section, but I just have to have faith that Either way God is with me & my child.  I thank him everyday for Kylin & wouldn’t change a thing because after all he was healthy & turned out more perfect than I could have ever prayed for!  However, I would have loved to have a better chance at having everything natural.  The doctor tried to make it happen for me, because he knew how bad I wanted it…but unfortunately my decision to go ahead and induce, put my body in position when it wasn’t quite ready!  You can’t go back, but I will forever wonder if I could have waited until my body was ready?  With the calcium building up in the placenta though, I was very worried that it could harm Kylin & simply just wanted to get everything going…I wanted to meet my baby!

If you want to hear more of my story, please dont hesitate to ask!  I am more than willing to share…even when it comes to recovery…cause I guarantee mine had to be one of the hardest!  I hope to hear from anyone about anything because after all we need to stick together & prove people wrong when they say "We Can’t" because well, "We Can."
