More power to you Shahana dear for sharing a powerful birth story..
Here is her child birth story...
Mine wouldn’t be an inspiring one ... I will share whatever I had to face before delivering my baby .. I was 2cm with zero contractions but had to wait two days to be 4cm dilated, I had it without any pain or contractions.. I wasn’t proceeding after 4cms so doctors had to strip the outer membrane since baby was 70% down already .. I had very few and mild contractions till I was 6cm dilated which wasn’t enough so again doctors had to put drips to make stronger contractions.. here came the worst part, I couldn’t tolerate the sudden pain since the contractions wasn’t gradual to me.. it was sudden and strong like I was current shocked every few minutes .. I was a mess with all the pain, so I asked for epidural.. doctors said you’re already 8cm dilated and baby is fully down and ready, you can do without epidural.. but I could hear nothing except the pain, I said I won’t Co-operate for nst or for drips until you give me epidural.. I know, I’m ashamed of that now 🫣 but back then, I didn’t even know what words were coming out of my mouth .. so they gave me epidural and within 10 mins into that I was fully dilated and baby’s head was already half out they said.. took me to an emergency delivery unit and my bundle of joy came in just 10 mins into labour .. I had to push her like 4 times out of which 3 are wrong pushes 😅.. so, if anything you want to learn from my story, Pranayama and breathing exercises are the main thing while having contractions.. I took it easily and didn’t follow up on the breathing exercises.. so I had to ask for epidural .. also, my baby was in breech till 36 weeks, I followed some exercises which Shivarekha mam and a physiotherapist in my hospital Suggested.. I didn’t have hope that my baby will turn head down .. but she did.. she is the most intelligent ever person .. she understands what I want and does the same even while feeding .. she latched perfectly the first time itself .. I’m proud to be a mother of the angel 👼🏾
More love to Shahana and the little angel
