Childbirth

As a mother of four, I can tell you that each childbirth is different.  The birth of my first child seems so easy.  I did not have any complications except for the morning sickness. 

Being that this was my first child, I was scared but nervous. Like all new mother I tried to prepared myself for the pain and how to time the labor pain and many other things.  Nothing went as I had planned. 

The day I delivered my son, I had no idea that I was in labor.  I just thougt I was sick.  I could not keep any food down.  I was concerned so I called my doctor.  He told me to come in so he could your examined me and to make sure the baby was doing fine. 

When I went to the doctor, he told me that I had dialated 7cm and I needed to go to the hospital.  Now I am nervous because my boyfriend (now my husband) was at worked and I could not get a hold of him.  I did not have my bag packed because I was expecting the baby to come 2 week later.

I have a vaginal deliver.  No problem.  When I first looked at my baby after he came out, oh my God,  he looked weird.  His head had a point and there was all this white stuff on him.  I think it took about a minute or two before I heard him cried.    I held him after the nurses had clean him up.

However it is a different story with my last child.  Induce labor was not for me.  I could not take the pain.  It just seem like the labor pain was every 5 minutes.  It was so painful.  Sometimes I wish the doctor would had let her stay in the full term.  She was 4 weeks early because they could not hear her heartbeat through the ultrasound.  I feel like she is developing slower than her peer.

  1. Thank you for sharing your story of giving birth. I have so much respect for you or any woman who experiences child birth. I do not have any child of my own and can not relate to the child birthing experience. I think all women try to imagine what they think it would be like to give birth but just as you mentioned, "each childbirth is different." You post as taught me that I can not try to imagine it but rather just experience it.
