Bith story - Part 1


Birthing Pool

So everything has been leading to this big moment. Everthing before this moment was pure speculation - every woman wonders how it will all play out. Will I be able to get through this? How will I cope? How will my husband react? Will it hurt like hell? Can I bear it?

My birth story started 2 days before our baby arrived. I experienced what is called prodromal or prelabor. I experienced contractions all night Monday which tapered off during the day and again all night Tuesday and then tapered off again during the day. But very early on Wednesday my contractions started coming 2 minutes apart. I called the doula immediately.

The contractions at this point were uncomfortable and I was a getting worried about what was coming ahead.

When the doula arrived she suggested that I get inot the birthing pool right away. It was amazing the comfort it brought. We put a few drops of lavander oil into the water, and active labour continued.
