Natural Birth after C section on the floor

Felt the true meaning of Janmashtami this year in Bloom Birthing centre Velachery
Sangeetha John met me in 2016 .
She was desperate in going for Natural birth as her first childbirth was a c section which she even now doesn't know why it happened. After 6 years this pregnancy ,she was so bold in her thoughts in going through natural birth. She is the person who was fighting for her rights in her own family with her mom and in laws to go with natural birth, as all her family members wanted her to go via c section.
Everything was going as her plan but around 41 weeks 5 days it happened to be an emergency c section.This time she was so happy to go through c section as she knows the reason of why its happening so and than it was a beautiful boy baby and she exclusively breastfed without any hassle.
In the mid of 2017 I met her with her elder sister vijayalakshmi who was on her family way.Viji came from Bangalore to discuss on her VBAC chances and Sangeetha was so desperate to make it happen for her sister.Viji went back to Bangalore and I met her again around her 34-35 weeks.
I was so confident with Viji not because of Viji but it is for Sangeetha. Even I remember telling her you can go with labor only with Sangeetha as your labor support because I know how much effort she had placed. Only for one session I met Viji husband , I was particular in saying whatever it is make sure Sangeetha is around .
Around 8.00 am september 2 nd I think Sangeetha called and said that Viji has back pains and I will update after reaching home.Around 12.00 pm she called me and said we has taken appointment for pregnancy massage can we do it,I said please go ahead.
Around 10.30 pm Viji husband called and said that pain is intense than we decided to go yo hospital. Around 1.30 am received a call saying they are in hospital and 2.00 am from duty doctor saying Viji is 6 cm dilated than when I went there by 2.20 am we shifted Viji to floor mattress as they had planned for natural birth.
Baby head started to crown with the sac . Viji was not able to bear she was exploring positions and 3.30 am September 3rd baby girl was born with the sac. The moment baby came out sac broked on Viji's husband's hand as he was also ready along with the doctor to receive baby.
It was so much joy which was not seen externally but I could see in each ones hearts.
It was Sangeetha who gave birth there as I could see her dream has come true with this little princess birth.
This Krishna jayanthi was very special
Two moms gave birth to a child
Its truly a janmashtami for me.
