The D-Day

On May 1, 2009, I finally gave birth to our baby boy via C-Section. I could have delivered my baby normally but unfortunately, my dilation got stuck at 6 cm. Even if induced, it did not work. Worse, the baby's heart rate was fluctuating; not a good indication of a good contraction. With that, my OB decided that I undergo the C-Section to deliver my baby. Well, i have no choice. I just nodded in agreement to my OB's advice. For my baby's sake, all i can do was whispered a prayer that everything will be ok. The procedure started at around 8:30 am and my baby was out at 9:02 am. It was not that traumatic after all. The procedure just lasted for about 15 minutes, and another 15 minutes in finishing it up - including the cleaning, stitching, etc.

When i heard my baby's first cry, i felt relieved. Indeed, all my hardships and pains vanished the moment i saw my baby. It was all worth it!
