My normal delivery experience

               When I came to know that I'm pregnant , that day itself I started to prepare for normal delivery. So I did meditation, walking, some exercises, diet , talk to baby, mantras, mudras.......

               On August 16,2020; 39 weeks 6th day, contractions started lightly at 1am then I started walking slowly in room and slept for awhile. After 2:30am  I walked for 10 min and slept. Like this whenever I get discomfort , contractions I used to walk for 10 to 20 min and slept. This process repeated till 7 am. Walking when pains start gives us  fast delivery . At 8 am took breakfast . Also took 4 dates for fast delivery. Pain gradually increasing for every hour and I already tuned my mind that I have to face this beautiful experience happily and welcome my baby with smiling face. I get down 2 floors and waited for cab 30 min by standing as it was raining. Went to Kims hospital Begumpet at 11 am . They checked and told 3 cm dilated should wait till 9 pm for delivery and advised not to eat solid food. I took milk and coconut water. Done all tests and scan everything normal. In hospital room , I walked slowly upto 6cm dilated and talked to my baby for sometime.

                 Shifted to delivery room , did not allowed my mother and I am the only one stayed for 3 hours alone  in between doctor and nurses were checking meanwhile my contractions are also increasing but I managed with two techniques. 

               One was wave technique. As we have pain for 40 seconds and this gradually increase and at peak we get pain more then gradually decrease like a wave. When I got pain I imagine wave and feel that as this pain is going down its ok no problem. That means when pain comes we have think in mind about pain goes away. 

               Another technique, this labour pain is 20 % and with fear we are adding 80%. Women have great strength can bear labour pains. 

              At 6:30 pm doctor came and told me to push. I pushed alot with good efforts. Doctor told me, your baby feels cool weather so head not coming out even though I pushed alot. So doctor told me stop pushing and did right Medio lateral episiotomy. At 7:33 pm with 3.3kg baby boy was born. Immediately they kept my baby on my stomach.  I was so happy and blessed to see and touch my baby. I was talking to my baby  and nurses are cleaning my baby and doctor was stitching me and my cute little baby seeing me and crying . I thanked to doctor and all staff . After 15 min I got doubt and asked baby boy or girl... even they didn't checked . This gave me so much laugh. 

             I welcomed my baby with smiling face as this was my aim through out pregnancy journey and I tried my level best to tune my mind positive . For this I kept some notes of positive affirmations and read out everyday. Maintained same bp level, listened only positive talks. Don't think normal delivery is horrible as showed in movies. I proved myself " yes we can bear  pains happily by thinking of baby   . "  Our struggle goes away when baby born after we immediately forget our pains. Change our belief system in positive way . Listen only positive stories. Be positive. Focus on we are going to see our baby than pains. Tune your mind in positive way when pain comes just think  pain goes away. I stayed one day in hospital . Me and my little cute baby had a deep sleep that night. Baby too struggle to come outside so we both are tired. 

             Finally my tagline of my pregnancy journey is Happy Mom, Happy delivery and Happy Baby ☺️

           Have a Happy Blessed Delivery with Happy Baby.
