Both of Ana's first two births were traumatic in different ways. Her first ended in an emergency cesarean, after a long labor. Her second was a VBAC birth, but during the birth, her baby's cord ripped, causing blood loss, and injury to both Ana and her baby.

Because of the intensity and trauma of her two previous births, when Ana became pregnant with her third, she chose to have an elective cesarean.

Of all her births, this one was the most peaceful, and in it, she found healing.
