April 16, 2013- I gave birth to my second little one thru Caesarean Section. If my own will was to be followed, I would've delivered him the normal way. But Nahte's story is different. Though I tried to deliver him normal, went through 8 hours labor pain yet in the end,I couldn't do it. The baby's heartbeat would go down from 145 to 45 beats everytime I try. My doctor did the best that she could in order to let him out but shebhad no choice. We had no choice but to give birth thru CS. So I gave it up and opted for Caesarean section. Nahte came out at exactly 5:10am, I did not get to hear his first cry because I was sedated of course, I was asleep the whole time. When I woke up, Doctor told me that the reason why it was impossible to deliver him normal was because he weighed 7.12lbs(bigger than his kuya!) And, his cord was coiled twice. As soon as I realized the gravity of that instance, I couldn't help but be emotional and just be so thankful to God that my baby's alive. It was like every pain that I experienced went down the drain. It was all worth it. I feel so blessed to go through that pain, it was a great realization too that it is always God's plan that will prevail. I feel so blessed to be taken cared of people from the hospital - very efficient and professional. Though I know they are just doing their jobs, I still thank God for these people (doctors, nurses) who efficiently took care of me during those hard times. Words aren't enough to express my deepest gratitude to them.
So now, I'll just say a little prayer for them that they may continue doing their excellent work and showing genuine care to their patients. Call it a blessing in disguise perhaps, prayers really do great wonders. If we hold on to our prayers and just be faithful, we will never be led astray. That's one affirmation I got from my experience.
