Our Labor Story (17/03/2011)

The day has arrived! 
My mind was full of questions and worries. Bags were packed; dharma was back, dad, mom n everyone else was there with me…
At that time I realized, such wonderful neighbors I have! They were all giving me words of courage to have a safe labor.
Left to the hospital at 8.30 pm after a small prayer… it sounds very Indian, but yes we do believe in god!

Checked-in at the hospital, the midwives were checking on me and the baby, inside the treatment room. I had to leave everything with Dharma to take care, ended up getting a VIP room!

The day I knew it for sure, I married a man who wants to provide the best for me and money wasn’t his main concern… he just wants me to be comfortable and most importantly, relaxed!

As mom and dad left, Dharma and I started talking about how it all started and look where life has brought us today! Hmmm…. All those happy moments, and we’re about to experience another in the next 24 hours (that’s what we thought at that time)!

One of the midwives came in and told us that they are gonna insert a tablet at 6 a.m. to dilate and stimulate contraction. As scary as it sounded, I told myself I am all out ready for this!

We went to bed at about 12, but I didn’t get to sleep peacefully with those nurses coming in to monitor the heartbeat and contraction every 2 hours and left it there for abt half an hour!

Our Labor Story (14/03/2011)

In the month of March 2011, the most awaited moment was about to come!
Both of us were much excited, equally tensed and pressured… We heard everyone saying, ‘its normal to feel like that, and it’ll all end before you guys even realize it…’. True that…

Everything happened so fast! And before we knew it, the ‘BIG’ guy was out, putting a smile on everyone’s face!

March 14, 2011
Mom and I went for my usual antenatal check-up.
After the scan was done, Dr Guna told us that the baby is doing very fine, but… he happen to be bigger than expected and still growing. He also told us that we should make a decision the soonest to avoid a C-sec birth.
As discussed before, we decided to go for an induced labor. So, he advised us to get myself admitted on March 17th, induce on 18th and deliver the same day.
With much anxiety we went home…

Mom started to call everyone informing them that I am gonna be admitted soon and the baby is arriving on 18th! :)

As excited as she was, she was equally worried…. Mothers, what more can we say how much they love their kids!

As a pregnant woman, I always wanted him to be next to me… and at this point of time, I was super nervous and the fear of going into a c-sec was my main concern!
I had everyone with me, telling me that everythg is gonna be alright! It’s easier said than done… :(

With his busy work schedule, he had to apply leave for a couple of days and manage to get it approved. Thanks to his wonderful boss Chris!
