25 DEC 2011, last year was like any other day in 3 trimester
of pregnancy.Its almost 40th week of my pregnancy.I went for my
daily walk with Mummy.Like any other day I was wondering , when is baby
planning to come.In fact I was getting restless day by day.Most of my friends
due in DEC had already delivered.I had slight pain in pelvic area , but I did
not take that seriously. I assumed my restless and pain to be some part of
rehearsal ..
That day I could not sleep nicely
..but that was not very different..:-)…most of my days were similar. The
difference was my urge for restroom trips was more frequent and I had pain in
turning to sides.Your papa is on his way. He cancelled 3 tickets and finally
coming on his vacations.We didn’t expect
that he will arrive before you..:-) ….. By the the time he reached around 8pm
and I got started feeling bit pain…….I was feeling very uneasy and couldn’t
even walk properly. He called up doctor immediately and she also asked us to
come to hospital as soon as possible.She pacified me not to worry.Some how I
felt I was not as worried as I always thought i would be.We called my mother as
well and we gave finishing touches to
our already packed bags. No pains yet…:(
And when we reached hospital……..my dr said not now….no contraction yet…….. I have no experience with contractions and not sure how or when they are going to start…………Dr said no need to stay here just go and relax will wait for one more day………;-(
I have read a lot of books on pregnancy/child birth etc, referred to online resources. And now I wonder if I know more than I need to? I know of so many things that can go wrong, so many things that will prevent a normal delivery (pre-eclampsia, baby’s position etc etc). I asked my mom about some of these things and her reply was “In those days we never knew much about the complications, nobody- not even my mom- told us what to expect during delivery. The nurse asked us to push and we pushed”. As simple as that. They all delivered normally (at least my mom and aunts did), they all breast fed their babies. So I wonder if this entire knowledge overload is making us weak and doubtful.
My mom gave me a very good advice, she said “Keep reciting your prayers and hope for the best”. So I’m doing that and all those books are back in the shelf.
Next day morning My Dr Recalled and asked if any pains….I didn’t any pains….she did another sono graphy and we came to know still baby’s position is not set (actually you were in breech position) so we have to go for a C section asap. I got bit nervous. I was murmuring “OM” or “Please God Help me” or “I know i can do it” kind of phrases.Finally we decided for 27 DEC for my C section.Second time we came back from hospital.
Again it's time to do more and more prayers.......
