Water Birth No More

Petite Pedia Post 125

I attended this newborn delivery recently. 

Mom was in labor for 31 hours, the last 6-7 hours of which were very painful. Her original plan was water birth (hence, no anesthesia)  but ended up lying in bed since she was more comfortable in it.  Even if she wanted anesthesia, we couldn't since she was too far along. There were times when she was on the verge of giving up, but her very "supportive" family and friends would tell her , "Ginusto mo yan!" 

The very excited and cooperative father-to-be was also stressed whenever he would see his pregnant partner in pain. His solution? He would disappear and eat several servings of food and come to sit beside his partner all recharged.  (He had 3 servings of dinner and breakfast.)  😂

At the end of the tiring and succesful lamaze delivery, the obstetrician probably saw how exhausted the Mom was. She ordered that Mom be given some water. Nurse handed it over to the new father to give to the Mom. I guess the Dad got really tired as well because he forgot to give it to the Mom and drank it instead. 😂😂😂

Kudos to all our mothers who endure so much pain just to give us life.  🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
