I SMILED THROUGH MY CONTRACTIONS - MY BIRTH STORY

On Wednesday 11th August @ 4 am I started having diarrhea. At around 7 am I had a little trickle of water come down. It wasn’t a lot but I knew it was labor setting in. I began to have intense cramps like feeling at around 9 am and decided to walk around for a while until it was 11:30am when the cramps like symptoms “contractions” became more consistent so my husband and I went to the hospital.

When we got to the hospital I was checked and to my surprise I was already 6cm dilated. I was checked in and decided not to lie down nor sit but instead walk around to help with the process.

Both my husband and midwives would help massage my back as the contractions intensified. I was calmed throughout and kept breathing in and out.

By 5pm our princess was in and she weighed 3.2 kg healthy and so precious all thanks to God.

Before I end, I’d like to say this to every pregnant woman on here, keep in mind that “FEAR IS STUPID SO IS REGRETS” from the beginning of my pregnancy I stayed positive throughout. I never listened to what others had to say about their pregnancies or labor. I actually smiled throughout my contractions and labor that my midwives kept asking me if I was sure this was my first time giving birth because of how calmed I stayed throughout.

Never had any issues from day 1 of finding out I was pregnant until the very time she arrived. All thanks to God.

To Sally, thank you for your amazing support. God bless you for all that you do. I constantly ate well, lots of fruits, vegetables, lots and lots of water and totally rested. Never had any constipation whatsoever. You taught us well and I made sure I put all that you said into practice.

And to the lady who shared the book, SUPERNATURAL CHILDBIRTH, I say God bless you too. That book totally changed my life and pregnancy journey.

Good luck to everything waiting on their precious little ones. God bless you all and bring the journey to a beautiful, blessed and peaceful end for you all
