apprehensions when nearning childbirth... please share....

To continue, You may not have the same experience as me but let me tell you how it felt like for me. It might prepare you better. When I was a young woman, I used to have this painful mentrual cramps. When I had them I was rolling about holding my stomach. Well diving birth for me was like that except it felt worse because it lasted longer. I cannot roll about because there are tubes attached to me. But they gave me the gas and that helped a little. i didn't want epidural because i heard things about it so .. These 'cramp like pains' or labour pains comes and goes. So in a way its a little better because my mentrual cramps will last about an hour in a stretch. Labour pains comes and lasts about 5 minutes at a time. After this you will find relief. When you have dilated about 9 centimeters, you will feel like you want to clear your bowels. When this happens, its time to listen to the experts and do as what you are told. For me because I did not use any epidural when the pains came again, that was the time to push. This was my second delivery experience, the first was all confusion. The third was blurred because I became sleepy. But the babies were the 'painkillers'. You get to see who was sqeezing whatever in your womb all the past 40 weeks.. Oyes when my second one was 6 months old, I had my first toothache in my wisdom tooth. I think that was the most terrible pain i ever had. Worse than any childbirth pain.

Oops its Jamal and not Jamil. I think my memory has become selective at this point.

I learnt from those who thank me that its nice to thank those who chose you for best response so thank you Anyway do tell us of your experience in the delivery...

According to my sister's doctor, the baby keeps on moving when they are about to come out and sometimes, the breech position babies have the tendency to be in normal position. But my sister undergo CS in her 3rd baby and that's the last. Most often when babies are in breech position, a mother will undergo CS method. But don't worry, just trust the doctors and above all trust the Lord.

Thanks my friend. I just entrust everything to God. Actually the last time i had my ultra sound the results says that my baby is breech and i got a low lying placenta, grade 1 but when i had my check up i asked my doctor how's the position of the baby she told me that he is in the right position though i need to undergo another ultra sound on my 37th week to check on the position of the baby and the placenta again.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Yeah everyone was telling me that every childbirth vary and I shouldn't worry too much because the medical staff are going to take care of me in the process of birthing and that they would usually do everything to save both the life of the mom and the baby. I am really praying that everything will be okay as i give birth and that i won't have a hard time during my labor.

Thanks so much for the encouragement and prayers. I know the doctors and with the help of the advance medicine can make things better for me and the baby. As what they always say that both mother and baby's life are important and will be given out most care. I know a lot of my family and friends especially the people from the church that we belong to are praying for me and my baby. Thanks for the post and God bless!!!

Thanks so much for the assurance. I pray that everything will really be well from this time until i give birth. I embrace this new experience and as what you have said this feeling I got now is really normal and i think everyone go through this feeling. I am so excited to see my baby. How he looks like but I know even if I haven't seen him yet I love him so much that I am willing to give up my own life for him to live. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. It is really nice to hear encouragement with those who have gone through the same experience i am going through now.They say that each women have had different experiences during childbirth. Sometime if you hear stories from other moms their experience it really makes you terrified. Thank you for sharing the verse it is one of me favorites and I memorized it by heart. I know and claim that God will be there for me. Thanks again.
