Television presenter Maayan Adam shared on Wednesday that she is anxious about potential complications during the birth of her third child, due with partner Yuval Tzelner. Adam, who is overdue, expressed concern that her baby is becoming too large for a natural birth, especially after a previous Cesarean section. She noted an increased risk of uterine rupture in her situation and mentioned that she cannot be given Pitocin to induce labor. Adam revealed that she might require a balloon induction or a surgical delivery, a scenario that deviates from her hopes for a different birth experience following a difficult first labor with her elder daughter, Tabor.
Adam, who lost her sister Meital Adam during the October 7th Hamas attack at the Supernova music festival, named her second daughter Kedem in tribute to her sister. She previously explained that the name Kedem, which also refers to the highest mountain in Israel, was chosen to honor her sister and to symbolize looking forward. Adam expressed her primary wish for the baby to be born healthy, while acknowledging her disappointment that this likely final birth experience may not align with her dreams.
