Here’s Birth Story Of Yasmien Kurdi’s Second Child
YASMIEN KURDI – Kapuso actress Yasmien Kurdi shared the birth story of her second child.
Yasmien Kurdi underwent a cesarean section for the birth of her second child. Taking to Instagram, the Kapuso actress posted images of the procedure and recounted her birthing experience, expressing her initial desire for a natural delivery.
However, her birth plan did not unfold as expected. She said “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.”
“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,” Yasmien added.
Cord coiling occurs when the umbilical cord becomes entangled around the baby’s neck while in the womb, potentially leading to complications during a typical delivery.
Yasmien expressed gratitude to her medical team for their attentive care during her procedure, ensuring her and her newborn’s well-being.
“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 Rey Soldevilla, a commercial pilot, and they share an 11-year-old daughter named Ayesha. They disclosed their anticipation of welcoming their second child in November, later revealing that they are expecting a baby girl.
