Many, things happen in life. Sometimes we are face with difficult situations we think we can’t handle. I went through a very difficult time. But it only took one day to realize how much better my life will be. The day I had my first child was one the best feelings in the world. I never experience so much love and happiness all at once. I felt very blessed even though many things went wrong during the birth. However, everything was worth it because I left the hospital with a healthy baby girl. Around, two in the afternoon on July 3, 2013. I received a call from my doctor stating I will have to be induced around 5 p.m. that day. So many emotions were experience the second I heard that. I felt so excited at the same time unprepared. I began packing my daughter’s diaper bag and got myself prepared for my daughter’s arrival. I then, realized I had no ride to the hospital since my dad was working and my mother couldn’t drive. So me and my mom took the bus to the hospital. Along the way I began to feel contractions, as the bus was getting closer they seemed to be getting even more intense. I was extremely nervous. I was admitted in and felt ready to have my baby. …show more content…
I was so happy. My contractions were getting overly intense I had to get an epidural. While waiting for my doctor to give me the epidural. My water broke, and the nurse knew something was very wrong. Before I had time to ask questions the doctor told me to start pushing. Within three pushes my daughter was welcomed into this world. I later found out my daughter was so distressed, she swallowed her own poop. So they had to stick two tubes down her throat to drain all the toxics out. Overall she was a healthy baby girl weighing six pounds nine ounces born July 3,
She checks me, and tracks my surges. My surges are not as frequent as earlier so she recommends for me to sit on the birthing ball. I sit up right on the birthing ball, and lean back on Poet for support and those surges are coming now. I tense up, and my midwife's assistant beautifully guides me through each surge, encouraging me to relax instead of tense up with each contraction. After a while of being on the birthing ball, I am guided to the bathroom, and I sit on the toilet for a few of the surges and finally I am ready to get in the tub and begin pushing. I felt like I was never going to meet our baby. I felt like our baby was
...in labout, that day our little Serenity was born. You would think being a father, living with the girl I loved and being out of the hospital for over a year now I'd be happy, but I wasn't.
From the moment we got her home I was a nervous wreck. I cried all the time and I was convinced I was doing everything wrong and something horrible was going to happen to our daughter. People around me would joke that I just had baby blues and it would all be better soon. After
Once we were done with paper work, we went back to the labor and delivery unit where we suited up. We wore medical booties, face masks, and nurse caps. Once the patient was ready to go into the OR, she first had to meet with the anesthesiologist to fill out more paper work. After meeting with the anesthesiologist, we all went into the OR. There was a student nurse, two anesthesiologists, the patient, and two RN nurses. While the student nurse was preparing the OR, the patient was getting an epidur...
Firstly, I am a Bay Area native, daughter, friend and sister who deeply cares and thrives off my passion and the connections I make with the people around me. This passion towards the connections and impact I make with people and for people stems from growing up with two sets of relatives, one biological and one adopted. Due to being adopted, by parents sent me to a girls adoption group where I met other girl’s my age and was able to find support for not only talking about my adoption, but dealing with internal and external struggles by obtaining tools to better deal with hardships and to communicate with others. I can honestly say that I am a better person because of the support of the group and I feel that it is a big part of the person
The moment I found out I was pregnant with William at 18 - I knew my life would never be the same- it was one of those life defining moments.
Pregnancy can be an exciting and sometimes frightening experience for many women. It was a snowy Sunday afternoon, and I was not feeling very well. I remember all week long, every morning I felt nauseated. I was craving odd foods, and foods I normally would not eat together. I was on the phone with my best friend explaining to her how I was feeling. She said “It sounds like you are pregnant.” That thought never even crossed my mind until that moment. Sure enough she was right, I was pregnant for the first time. I was excited to have a baby and never realized how many emotions or complications can take place during a pregnancy. Everybody that I knew that had babies, had such wonderful experiences. Unfortunately, this happy moment became such a monumental, emotional and stressful time in my life. During my pregnancy, I went through many emotional experiences from almost losing my child, to the uncertainty of a birth defect and early delivery.
It was August 25, 2006 and I just received the news that I was going to have a baby. At that moment so many thoughts ran through my mind. I was extremely nervous and terr...
I was adopted from Seoul, South Korea when I was five and a half months old. When I finally understood what adoption meant, I thought that it was the most significant day in my life for many years, but I was wrong.
Two of the greatest days of my life were the days my daughters were born. The first time I held the both of them and gazed into their eyes I felt a sense of relief and hope. The feeling is a warm tingling sensation that engulfed my entire body. The emotions that I felt are beyond what words can explain. It’s amazing to me that in the first few minutes of their lives they completely changed my perception of the world.
So, I told my doctor I wanted to be induced. After all, my due date was only two weeks away and only five percent of women give birth on the day determined by their doctors. When I was finally there, I looked at the outside, the hospital was set in a suburban – like area, and when I went inside the building, I was in a welcoming ultramodern facility. I went straight to the labor and delivery section where they said my doctor had gone out of town; nobody believed that I was supposed to be induced that day. It took them like 15 minutes to confirm what I had told them, to finally decide to take me to a room to connect all kinds of tubes to my body. I went into the room; it looked very comfortable, but it was freezing. I lay on the typical hospital bed, one of those that make sleeping and resting easier.
It was the happiest feeling that I have ever felt in my life, and as time came near for me to have my son the feeling became greater and greater. When I heard one of the nurses saying “Were ready, she’s now nine centimeters”, I began to get very anxious and excited at the same time. Although I was beginning to get happy I was still in disbelief as all of it was happening. I see the nurses preparing themselves. I just said to myself, “oh yeah its happening alright”. I was about to become a mother which was so unreal to me and nerve racking because I had no idea how to love or be mother. My heart became full of so many emotions, however the thought that dominated my mind was that I had to be the best mother I can be so my son could grow up and be the man he was destined to
I was born on a very stormy wintery night, my mom and dad left to go to the hospital at about midnight and I was born about an hour later. I was naturally birthed without any drugs, inducement or epidural. The overall birthing experience went very well and there were no complications at all. My father’s role in the delivery room was to “get his hand squeezed off.”
After months and months of eating for two, constant visits to the doctors, and my husbands teasing, the moment of truth finally hit me. I was actually going to give birth to this tiny individual who had been living in my stomach for the past nine months. I was finally going to meet the creature that had been kicking me and keeping me from a great nights sleep. The one thing from this experience that I have learned is that nobody will ever be able ...
By the time the hospital gave my mother a room, it was midnight and I was very sleepy. I was told by my mom to go to the room with her so I did. I was falling asleep on a sofa the hospital had, while my mom was screaming her lungs out. Looking back at this I have no idea why I was in the delivery room. I was later kicked out of it by mom anyways. I wanted the memory of me being in the delivery room for that one hour to stick with me as a reminder of how hard it is to be a mother from the start. Years later, it did stick with me, and it helped me be a better daughter.I realized my mom went through a lot to bring me into this earth and it wasn’t easy for her to do so. From that moment on, even though I was kicked out of the room as soon as I saw her again, I have been as helpful and careful with her as I could ever since. That moment I spend in the delivery room with my mom is actually one of the most special parts of the trip because it made my mom and I closer. I became much closer to her after I realized I owe her to be the best I can as a daughter and to be the best for
