The name Kaiden randomly came to me one day. I ran it past Vishnu, and surprisingly, he liked it a lot too. Then we got into the discussion of how to spell it. Obviously, we ultimately decided on the K and I version of the name. Next came the question of what exactly does Kaiden mean (our parents were very curious!). Well, after checking multiple sites, we learned that Kaiden means ‘warrior’ and ‘fighter.’ Little did we know how fitting our little man’s name would be come time for him to make his grand entrance into the world!
Kaiden’s birth story starts two days before I actually delivered. On Tuesday morning, I walked to my OBGYN’s office for my 38 week appointment. I was told that everything looked good and that I was only a fingertip dilated. With that, I walked to work thinking I had a couple of more weeks until it was go time.
Kaiden is a beautiful name. What a curve you threw in the end. But I am so glad that both you and the baby are doing fine. I never really read birthing stories (you know, nothing to relate to) but your compelling writing and my concern for your well being motivated me to do so. Wish you all the love and luck for the days ahead. You guys are already ideal parents 🙂

You are so sweet, Tanvi! Thank you! Hopefully you’ll get to meet our little warrior one day 🙂
Love your baby boy’s name! I also had the healthiest, most normal pregnancy ever that ended in a c-section (and chorioamnionitis). I’m so glad you’re both doing well and that you’re healing quickly. Give yourself time to heal physically and emotionally. It can be hard when a birth doesn’t go as you envisioned. Lots of love to all three of you!
OMG that’s right. I remember reading your birth story. You’re absolutely right. It’s so hard to come to terms with a delivery that doesn’t follow the same path as your pregnancy. So glad our boys are ok!
Par!! My God! I can’t believe all that went down. Thank you so much for sharing that with all of us. I am so thankful and happy that you both were OK through it all. How scary that your fever went up like that!! Yikes. Thank God for your hubby, sister, parents, in-laws and of course the incredible hospital staff for being there for you guys. Kaiden may be a warrior, but so are you! Love to all of you! <3 xo
Thank you, Par! You are the best! 🙂 Can’t wait for you to meet our little guy!
Aw, incredible story Parita, hope the best for your recovery. Can’t imagine what a roller coaster ride it must have been but I’m sure you’re over the moon about little Kaiden now 🙂 good luck and take care 🙂
Thank you, Laura! It was very dramatic, especially given how not dramatic my pregnancy was!
I’m so glad it all worried out! Talk about drama! I love, love the name – that’s actually my second cousin’s name too!
It sounds like you and Kaiden are being well cared for. Get lots of rest! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations to you and your husband, P! I am so glad that all is well with you and Kaiden.
Thank you!!!
Gosh! So glad to hear both you and Kaiden are doing okay. Cannot even imagine how worried and stressed you must have been during the actual delivery and until you actually knew he was fine. I am sure you guys are going to be amazing parents ! Congrats
Thank you so much! It was a rocky 24 hours +, but so thankful everything turned out ok!
