Sam Role‘s birth plan took a scary turn before she and fiancéChris Wisesafely welcomed daughterIsabella Myravia cesarean section on Sept. 7.
“I was all set seeing my doctor every week the last month of my pregnancy, just like anyone else. Thelast week of pregnancy, I just knew that she wasn’t going to come on her due date. I had been having painful Braxton Hicks contractions for six weeks,” theMarried at First Sightstar recalls to PEOPLE exclusively.

After the couple scheduled a day for Role to be induced, they were “ready” to meet their daughter. But the labor would prove to be a difficult experience.
“So the induction date comesand I go to the hospital andam given some medicine to begin contractions around 9 p.m. I was up the entire night in excruciating pain. Around 7 a.m. the doctor came to check my dilation and still nothing changed. Only one and a half centimeters dilated,” Role shares.
“The doctor looked at me and said he was concerned. No one wants to hear that from their doctor when they’re pregnant, especiallywhen they’re about to give birth. He then said that he was recommending a C-section because it didn’t make sense to him as to why she had gone back up the birth canal and I wasn’t dilated any further.”
Role took her doctor’s recommendation into consideration and consulted with fiancé Wise, who had returned home to take care of their pets.
“We decided the best thing to do wouldbe to proceed with the C-section. Chris then rushed back to the hospital and as soon as he walked in he was scrubbed up and I was already on the operating table prepped and ready to go,” she says.
“It was one of the scariest moments of my life. When the doctor said he was concerned, that scared me enough to really consider this option and I’m glad I did.”
