My newborn baby love's birth story is a pretty smooth ride. I was extremely scared of childbirth. I DO NOT handle pain well at all.Throughout the journey of 9 months I was hoping and putting all my efforts to stay healthy and to keep my newborn baby darling well in every possible way. I was about two days overdue when we went for a checkup, hoping the doctor would finally find a softened cervix and some dilatation. Nothing! The newborn baby was where he wanted to be, may be he found his comfort home or may be he was not yet ready to come to my arms.
We put together a plan to meet at the hospital after two days of my due date. My doctor like any other Indian doctor these days scolded me that why I haven't told her about being overdue. She told me it's not good to hold the overdue newborn baby in the belly these days as it may harm the newborn baby in several ways. And I swear I started sweating in the month of march that time. I had a history with aborting a fetus in second trimester earlier due to some medical problem with the newborn baby's development. So I wanted everything to be pitch perfect for my darling's arrival.
I was not having any pains, my cervix was closed, there was not a single sign for his arrival. I was very heart broken, when my husband asked my doctor "What Next??" My doctor advised me to induce pains if possible by having a specified quantity of Castor Oil. At first after going through the internet, I was not sure weather I should have Castor oil or not, but then God knows what gave me strength and next day on 16th of March, early in the morning I had the Castor Oil and started waiting for pains to kick in. Boom!! 5 hours gone and still no pains.
My husband took the afternoon off from work to spend with me, and we made plans to go out for our "last meal." Sill no pains so we decided to go to the hospital for consultation. My doctor there suggested me to get admitted so that they can induce pains through Injections and drips. After a heated discussions with whole lot of family members my husband suggested that there is no point in taking chances and I got admitted in the noon hours. I was started with the procedures and after an hour I was lying on the hospital bed with a set of different types of needles transferring there magical pain inducing serum into my veins.
It was 10:00 at night and there were no sign of pains, I was very tensed, frustrated,in mental pain and was extremely sad. My husband came o me and I told him I can not take any chance , I am very scared Please do something!! He turned to me hold my hands, smiled and said "Would you like to have a baby tonight?" I was startled at that time, may be because I wanted to hear the very same question. I squeezed his hands and said YES!!
Hospital started to arrange OT for my C-Section. Yes I went through the so called un-natural procedure to meet my love. At around 10:55 in the night everything was sorted and I entered in the Operation Theater. I looked at my husband , He gave me his beautiful smile n kissed my hands and said I'll always be with you .
I went inside, everything was so chilly, 5-6 hospital doctors, specialist and staff were present. Soon I was given the anesthesia to numb my lower body. My body went numb but my mind starting working with double speed. I was getting very restless, wanted someone to talk to me , hold my hand. There were lot of thoughts in my mind and suddenly I heard that musical sound of my newborn baby crying at 11:17:17 PM. I couldn't think of any other special moment in my life till date, I was smiling wide with tear filled eyes.
And then Grace was in our arms. An amazing, healthy, lovely newborn baby. Relatives filed in and we passed Grace around. Suddenly I felt the adrenaline kick in. As tiring as labor had been, I'd never felt better!
