The most recent birthing experience I had was the birth
of my first grandson. My grandson whom I
call doodlebug was born on January 12 with the weight of 4lbs 15oz. This was a
day my entire life had changed. Not only,
did I experience this wonderful feeling of being a proud grandmother, but that
was the day I became part of the glamour-mom committee at my job; among co-worker
who was all grandmothers. The morning of January 12th me and my
daughter woke up in a hospital room where we spent two there already. The nurse
came in and told us that she came in to prep my daughter for the birth of her
baby. I was so happy, because the time
had finally come, even though the baby was coming prematurely. All of a sudden
my big smile faded away with the thought it is really happening. My stomach
started hurt, bubbling and turning with the reality of watching the tears roll
down my daughter cheek. The nurse came in to take my daughter to the delivery
room but just before they left out; the nurse gave me a funny white scrub that
was called a bunny suit to put on to eliminate germs. Five minutes I pass after
the nurse and my daughter had left for the delivering room. The nurse came in
to get me. The nervous within me started getting worse until I seen my daughter
was ok. Less than ten minutes after entering the delivering room I hear a small
voice echoing for behind a blue curtain that stood between me/ my daughter upper
body and my daughter stomach on down. I looked
at my daughter and she looked at me and at the same time we started laughing
with joy. One nurse who came from behind the curtain with a baby boy who entire
body seem to be covered with a white powder and water. After everything was over I was told by the
nurse to follow her as she took the baby to the nursery; where there was over
baby who was born prior to my grandson birth.
The place I chosen to talk about their child birth is
Australia. In Australia it was Birth & midwifery article reported one in
every woman delivery their baby by cesarean section. The mother to be was told
it was necessary to deliver their baby C-section. After giving birth by
cesarean section most of the women suffer postnatal depression.
There are expecting women in the United States who has
either had a cesarean section or about too. My personal experience I am a
mother of three girls and one boy who was all delivered by cesarean section. I was
considered high risk since the very first pregnancy. When I reach the 7 month
of my pregnancy my baby was in distress, which was a sign of complication. I was
rushed in the labor and delivery room where the doctor did an emergency
C-section, which prevented me from having future vaginal birth. There is a myth
saying a woman can only have 3 cesarean section. To my surprise the doctor I had
told me it depends on how well a woman heal after a C-section; she can have
many delivery by C-section.
