I really
thank God for giving us a healthy baby boy. I gave birth on January 6, 2012 at 1:53 PM. Giving birth is really not easy. I
was in labor for 24 hours. It was really painful. I was in labor for that long
and yet when the doctor took an IE, my cervix is still 5 cm. My water bag
didn’t break. The OB had to break it and she expected that my cervix will reach
7 – 8 cm after an hour. But when she came back, nothing’s changed. It was still
5cm. The pain increased and I wanted to scream but I couldn’t. I wanted to
stand and walk around but they won’t allow. I feel I could no longer bear the
pain. I was running out of breath. The OB then decided that I undergo a CS. I
was kinda relieved when she said that. I had to go through all the pain as if I
was going to have a normal delivery but the ending is I’ll be giving birth
through CS. I was brought to the operating room around 12:45. I was sedated and
I fell asleep. I was then awakened by the cry of my baby. I was happy that
finally my baby is here. I thank God that everything’s okay. Everyone in the
family’s happy for this wonderful gift of life. I know my task as a mother is a
lifetime commitment. I still have to learn a lot of things on how to nurture my
child in the right way. But with God on my side, I know everything will work
out right.
