Yasmien Kurdi gives birth to 2nd child via caesarean section, shares birth story
Yasmien Kurdi has given birth to her second child via caesarean section.
On Instagram, the Kapuso actress shared photos of the procedure and shared her birth story, saying that she wanted to have a normal delivery.
However, things did not go according to plan.
"After series of tests nalaman namin na manipis pa din pala ang CS scar ko even after 11 years - not a good indication. 'Di na namin itinuloy because of many high-risk possible scenarios and we opted for CS the day I labored," Yasmien said.
"We also found out during the procedure that the baby had a cord coil. It actually was a good call that we opted CS because if we tried VBAC [vaginal birth after cesarean section] we would have ended up doing CS still," she added.
Cord coil is when the umbilical cord gets wrapped around the baby's neck inside the womb, which can cause complications in normal delivery.
Yasmien thanked her doctors for taking care of her and her baby during her procedure.
"A #cesarean (C-Section) is a life saving procedure for women like me.. I chose to do whatever it took to get my baby out healthy and safe!" she said.
Yasmien is married to commercial pilot Rey Soldevilla. They have an 11-year-old daughter, Ayesha.
The couple announced they are expecting their second child in November. They later shared that they are having a baby girl.
Congratulations, Yasmien!
