My Baby is a Reality

Finally the day dawn and I am holding my little angel close to my heart. It was a normal delivery. It happened almost 1 week in advance as compared to the delivery date. Maybe he wanted to see the world sooner rather than wasting more time in my tummy:). He felt he has grown enough and can survive well in the new world.

I had completed 38 weeks 4 days. I was working a lot at home doing cooking, cleaning etc. It started with mild contractions and went on for almost 2 days. It was regular contractions happening every 20 minutes. Then the contractions became frequent with a 5 minutes interval. We called the doctor and he said to visit him. The doctor diagnosed and said that the cervix has opened to 6 cms and it is time to admit. So finally I was there in the hospital for my delivery after the 9 months. I was very anxious. The contractions were unbearable. I was tired due to lack of sleep the previous night because of the contractions. The mid-wife took me on the delivery bed and I was praying that everything goes on well. The labor pains became stronger. My water bag burst open. The mid-wife checked and said the cervix had dilated to 10cms and it was time for the baby to come to this world. I was very excited and trying my best to bring my baby out in this world. It was not that easy as this was my first time. The best part was that my hubby was with me, holding my hand firmly and reassuring me that everything gonna be all right.Hubby dear, what would I do without you? The delivery took about 2 hours with me trying my best to stay awake during contractions and sleeping in between. At one point I almost gave up, but the excitement to see my baby kept me going on... He was there at last. He cried a little to tell that he is here. I just could not hold back my tears of joy. All is well that ends well. I am getting goose bumps as I am recollecting and writing this down. The doctors were very helpful and took special care of me. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I would say we should experience the joy of being a mother. It is life-changing.
