I expected my birthing to be speedy, having a safe delivery and there being very few hours of pain. I thought the baby was going to come out a lot faster.

3.Was the birthing process what you expected?
I expected to have less pain. It was really horrible as if someone was punching me in my stomach and ripping my insides out. When I first woke up I didn’t expect to wake up to such strong feelings. It didn’t even dawn on me that ii would be giving birth that day I was just focused on the horrible pains in my stomach.
4.What was your experience of giving birth?
To be honest I didn’t feel anything because of the medication that I was given. So it was a fast experience. I was in labor for an hour and gave birth in 34 minutes.
Stories:
Mother: 3
Her water broke at home and she went straight to the hospital. She called her mother in law to spread the news when she got her first contraction. She went to the hospital that she had attended all her checkups in. The nurse that was going to assist the doctor turned out to be one of her friends she didn’t know that she worked there at the time. Because of her new found connections she got a big room. Lying in bed waiting for the cm to increase and waiting contraction after contraction was too much. She walked around and sat on a birthing ball to ease the pain from the contractions. Her husband was there the whole time with lots of support. She was overwhelmed and couldn’t think straight but decided unlike lots of people to treat her husband nice and tell him she loves him and isn’t mad with him. Labor was really strong and the urge to push was strong even though she wasn’t ready. She didn’t was screaming for medication but they couldn’t give it to her in her situation a t the time and now that she thinks about it is happy that they didn’t. Holding back from pushing was uncontrollable. Everyone screamed with joy when they saw the baby’s head. The cleaned the baby off right next to her and let the mother and baby hold hands the whole time. She held the baby is her arms while the doctor fixed some tearing down there. The baby was passed around and everyone was happy. A disappointment that she didn’t know was going to happen was that she thought her stomach was going to go down the next day but it didn’t.
Mother 4:
She got contractions but her water didn’t break yet. She went to the hospital because of the pain. The doctor broke her water, and she became fully dilated fast and got the epidural shot as soon as possible but she continued to feel pain. While trying to cope with the pain her husband stood there stroking her leg because he didn’t know what else to do with himself. After all the pushes the baby finally was born, head first left shoulder second. The husband began to cry right away he also go to cut the cord. The baby (a boy) got handed to her right away. What was strange was that the cord blood was collected so that it could go to donation. He was exactly 7 pounds. The baby was taken away from her and given a shout of vitamin k. The third person to hold the baby was her first son his older brother.
Mother: 5
This is her second child. Her previous child needed a cesarean so the doctors advised her to do the same with this child. When the 9 months came around she picked a date on the calendar and they scheduled an appointment and that was going to be the day her daughter would be born. When the day came her sisters came over her house to watch her son and she and the father went over to the hospital to get the operation done. Once the operation was done her daughter was taken away and she stood sleeping because of the medication. When she woke up she saw the baby and a nurse came over to try and teach her how to change a paper and feed her but she didn’t want to hear it. The woman wouldn’t leave until the mother cooperated so the mother had to listen. After 2 days the mother and her baby got to leave and go home. When she went home everyone was excited and welcomed the new baby girl Lauren Ashley Coen with open arms. |
