What I went through giving Birth

Having a child can be the most wonderful experience but can also be frightening. In my experience I was kind of worried, was it going to hurt? Was I capable to bring a child into this world? Well this was my experience.

I was 21 years old, going to college, many things were floating through my mind.What I did was read. I read books from th library, books given from other mothers, and also the internet. All these got me prepared to what to expect.

I talked to other mothers they told me their experience. Your own mother or mother in law have wonderful stories to tell, full with insite. My mom explained to me my bith and just listening to it made me appreciate my mother lots more. When you have a kid of your own you start realizing that mothers are more like a superhero they do marvolous acts where they are willing to give their life to their child.

The most important thing I did was pray. I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that he is always with me and wants to help me out. God showed me to calm down because sometimes when you are in that sort of state you sometimes feel like no one is with you, supports you, or cares about you. The the reasuring words he spoke to his prophets to pass down to us through the holy bible can calm anyone. He said he would never leave or forsake us when we choose to look for him.

When Labor came in my mind I thought you feel it right away but no it comes like a train. You hear it you know its coming but you dont know when. My contractions hurt like if I was getting a cramp I would start getting a cramp every 30 minutes. Then the cramp started getting more intense every 15 minutes. They took me to the hospital but they told me I wasn't ready yet. I spent a whole night and all morning with contractions every 5 minutes. It hit hard cramp then came down like when someone is holding you tight then lets go. They got close to 3 minutes each they sent the ambulance and I was gone to the hospital.

At the Hospital, they started conecting me to all sorts of things that I didn't even know what they were. Finally a lady came in asking me if I wanted an apadural. She commented and said "After this you will feel like you can have 10 babies at once." I thought yeah right I was feeling like I wish I was in another body.

She was right, it hit 10 minutes later, I felt like nothing I was calm, I even had a small conversation with my mom, even though they had told me that I would go into labor in one hour. The doctor came in like not even 30 minutes after that and told me I was fully dialated, ready to go into labor. I was 10 cm. When my son was comming through I felt nothing they would just tell me to push and stop and push, but to me it felt like when they take out a tooth, nothing.

That was my storie if you have any post them up or comment on mine.
