My experience in delivering a baby at a government hospital.

Tweet

I was admitted at a government hospital here in our city, when I gave birth to my first son. We hurried to the emergency room as soon as my bag of water broke. I didn't feel any labor pains so I stayed calm. The nurse attended at my needs not immediately but very well. In my own opinion, the process of their admitting-patients are well organized though you can't avoid the fact that there are too many patients that needs to be taken care of than any other private hospitals. After the doctor's interview, reviewed my prenatal check-ups, and checked my vital signs, a nurse escorted me to the Labor Room where I have felt and suffered the most painful moment in having a baby. After four hours of labor, the baby excitedly greeted the world with a loud cry. On the process of my delivery, the doctors assisted me very well, and the nurse were friendly which helped me stayed calm and made me eager to breathe in and out at every contraction. After that painful, yet fulfilling moment they escorted me to the ward where I was left to get sleep and rest. The moment I woke up, I got disappointed of the smelly surroundings, and the not-good-to-the-eyes environment. People are everywhere, two patients in one bed, narrow spaces, and the room is not air-conditioned. I heard a baby cried, and that's when I realized that I was in a government hospital.
