Man proposes,
god disposes, hence you can never predict when things may go
wrong. At such times to save both the baby and the mother , it
is better to perform a caesarean, which is by opening up the abdomen section of the uterus after 28 weeks of pregnancy. |
|
This is the time when you need your partner's love and
encouragement. You need to keep your cool and have faith in
yourself for a smooth sailing through such difficulties. |
