i just give birth last august 7 to a healthy baby girl via normal delivery with epidural(painless) its actually twilight as what they called since i was awake during delivery but i didnt feel any pain(of course since its painless
) but the problem is my doctor wanted me to push but how can i push if i didnt feel anything as according to her the way i pushed is not enough to let my baby out. my doctor told me that my water already run out so she told me that i might be undergo CS as my baby is already under stress but i insist for a normal delivery and told her to give it a try again.
they left me alone in the delivery room to talk to my mother about CS plan and while their gone i talk to my baby that she need to go out as we dont have enough money for CS
so when the doctor and her team came back she told me to try again for the last time and she came out(its really true that you just need to talk to your baby while inside your tummy and she will listen). i almost lost my breath but thanks god theres oxygen i was in bed for 2 weeks due to severe head ache due to epidural anesthesia and got more stitches down there as compare to normal without epidural delivery, for two weeks i cant even get up coz my head is very painful though im fine now. attached is my baby picture a day after delivery

Hi,
COngratulation being a new mother.Glad that both you and
your baby are safe and she is a healthy baby.
I saluted you,at least you are trying your best for normal delivery.
As for me, when I delivered my son, I feel so scared and nervous and pain.
I was having a backache for whole night and I can't sleep at all,but then
I am not sure is it a contraction..so I just stay at home till next morning
then my husband send me to hospital. I was told that I have diluted 5cm..
another 5cm to go. So I was waited for 4 hours...but then I only reached 7cm.
Not enough for normal delivery and my gynae suggested I wait for few more hours.
However , the pain on my back is terrible and I don't think I will have the
strenght to push out my baby when the time has come.
So After a discussion with my husband, I opt for C-section.
Everything went smoothly and within next hald an hour, my son was
crying and I felt so happy to see him for the very first time.
He was so cute and I can't wait to hold him on my arm.
That was my birthing experience and I do have phobia to give birth again.
I just don't want to go through the labour pain.
Do takecare and Happy confinement !!

my doctor also preferred normal delivery thats why she tried so hard and she waited for many hours sitting down there while i lay down in the labor room, i thought she left me coz i didnt see her but she patiently waited till i lost all water coz my pushed was not enough to let my baby out. she said its better for me to have normal since i dont have husband yet so that my body will return to normal like nothing happened without those scar in my belly due to cs in case. shes nice actually and even was joking during labor and delivery.

hello home,
She's really cute and reminds me of my kids when they're still babies.
I want to congratulate you for being brave and having this cute little angel.
You will enjoy more being a mom by the time your little angel started to talk and says "mommy"

wow! congratulations~!(^0^)/
i'm still relatively young, and definitely not having a baby anytime soon, but someday i know i'll have my own family~ and i'd like a baby girl too~XD
but you know what, your account of your own delivery scared me.
i know you said it was painless and all, but...i'm worried all the same. *sigh*
anyway, congratulations again for your baby girl~!:D
what did you name her?

its not really scary if you think that you will going to see your baby soon, i will still choose epidural next time just in case coz of the comfort during labor and delivery and you will not feel scared since you didnt feel anything they said that head ache is just normal due to the effect of anesthesia but nothing to worry as you just need a lot of sleep and a lot of water though i just hate the stitches but it will be healed soon. but if you can take the pain during labor and delivery then better choice without epidural as theres not much stitches down there sometimes none at all.

Congratulations!!! That's so great!!! I am happy you had a safe delivery and by epidural. I was not that fortunate and had 2 CS for my children. I would have love to give birth the natural way. For they say, the pain and experience is not the same. But yet, the joy of having your newborn child in your arms is total blissfulness. I am so happy for you. And I know, despite all you went through you will be a great mom. What is her name by the way? and don't strain yourself too much you are still recovering..Take care..(^^,)

Hi,homeshoppers.
Congratulation being a new mother!I'm still a single now,but I like baby very much. I always reguested to carry a baby in my arms from my relatives,I think it was a beautyful thing.I also know the pain of the mother should undergo when a baby will be born,because my mother often told it to me.Thank goodness,you and your baby are both safe and sound.I'm sorry to hear that the guy left you.I think if my girlfriend to have a baby in the future,I will always stay at home or hospital to keep her company.
