Giving Birth

March 3, 2013 was the day that I’ve been waiting for nine months, to gave birth. Actually, I didn’t know that it was my time to gave birth. I just experienced a strong contractions on my tummy the whole night before and until morning, and then I decided to go for a checkup. 

 When I was in the clinic they check my condition and they said that I was in labor stage and ready to gave birth anytime of the day. Suddenly, I felt nervous. I was nervous and scared on how can I do it. Keep asking myself if I can do it. I keep on praying to have a normal delivery and to have a healthy baby. I know that my family and my love were there to support and guide me and that gives me the motivation to be strong.

When I felt a very strong contraction that I cannot bear anymore, I shout for the pain. Midwife and a nurse get me and placed to the delivery room. They started the rituals and keep saying to me to breath and push. I did what they said and I thought I already called all the saints to help me in my delivery. It was 2:09 in the afternoon when my water bag broke then next my baby comes out. My tears came out when I saw my baby crying and placed on the top of my chest. I just breathe and mouthed “Thank God, Thank God”.

Watching my baby asleep on top of me looks so cute and it takes all the pain away. I feel complete, happy and blessed. My baby is healthy and cute. My family was so excited to see the baby and me. Then they bring me to my normal room to rest for a while. I felt so weak that time; I can’t even speak to talk to my love. He just cried and said “Thank you, Mommy”. I smiled and hold his hand.

 As a mom I feel so happy and relieved that I delivered him normally even though I am so nervous and scared that time. It was a painful but a great experience for me. I am happy that I made it. Giving birth is every woman’s dream but it is not an easy task. Two lives can be both in danger if something’s bad happen.

That time, I know that it is the start of the new stage of my life, being a mother to my baby and a wife to my love. I know that I can do it with the help and guidance of my family and friends that really cares for me. I am not scared anymore. I will  raise my baby as how my mother raised me. Teach him everything he needs to know, what is right and wrong, and how to have faith in God.
