Divine experience of my natural delivery

Here is the beautiful story of my first labour and delivery in my own words

It was Jan 21st midnight when I first felt my contractions, sometimes they would get regular and I would start to get my hopes up.

My hubby was not around to keep an eye on me. Unfortunately, his close friend met with a major accident and he had to be in hospital for support.

During that night I was timing my contractions and could see they are becoming more regular and I know it is the time. I didn’t delay anymore and called up my husband to come back home.

I was getting uncomfortable with contractions and we started to hospital in the morning of Jan 22nd.

In no time I was in the car with my bags packed heading to hospital with my husband. My pains started getting worse and we had to pause many times in between the journey to hospital. I was squishing my husband's hands for every painful contraction . 

After reaching hospital I was moved to the labour room and then suddenly my water broke. What a feeling it was :) Now I know for sure baby is gonna come out.

I was in real labour and couldn’t walk with the pain anymore. I was in operation theatre with my husband next to me. I progressed very soon and they hooked up a belly monitor to check my baby's heart rate.

I was slipped into a patient's gown and a lot of what happened next is kind of a blur , I was dealing with each contraction one by one . They were getting worse and the pain was soo much as if all my muscles in my uterus would just rip into two .

I was on operation bed with my legs apart and ready to deliver. The doc told me to push with my next contractions. And that contraction took forever to come. When it did, I tried to push, push harder, harder enough to expel the baby.

My husband was supporting me throughout. He was in pain too. And one last push that I know could rip my muscles apart and yes the baby is finally out.it was soo wonderful and I could feel the baby's little fingers coming out. It was like nothing I ever thought it would be.

The baby's heart rate decelerated and docs were moving furiously to make sure baby is good.

Nobody bothered to tell me the gender of my baby.

I was asking my husband who is it ? a girl or a boy ?and now I know it’s a baby girl:)

Doc wiped the baby and wrapped her in a baby pink swaddle and brought the baby to show me.

That sight is soo divine and I couldn’t stop staring at that cute lil one.

I planted a kiss on her forehead and it missed and landed on her lil eyes.

The bundle of joy is in my hands. She was soo warm and she looked absolutely beautiful , she was perfect.

Time flew soo fast and now she is 10 months old :) My lil baby doll is named Sanvi :)
