Birth Story of Ms. Vinodhini

Hi All,

I gave birth to a baby boy on 13th Sep in Akash hospital after 19 hours labour pain. I am so happy to say it was a normal delivery.

Without amba class ( which gave so much confidence) , my doctors, nurses and my husband ( who was with me for 17 hours and makes me laugh and cool in labour room) this 19 hours labor is not possible.

Here s my birth story.

Previous day evening i did all the exercise and 30 mins walk and 20 steps of duck walk and walking at stairs for 10 mins. I went to sleep at night 11 pm and 11.45 pm I felt my water broke and it started to spill..I recalled Amba said in class... As soon as my water broke I rushed to hospital... exactly wen I reached hospital I felt mild contractions.....doctor checked internally and pronounced its the Labour pain and cervix has dialate 1.5 cm already ... I got admitted by 12 am. I was taken to a labour ward and they monitored baby's heartbeat...baby was fine. I dont get any contractions after. They wait till next day morning 6am. After that they induced pain. I had light contractions every 20 mins. And it was increase every two hours and time decreses for every two hours. Till evening 4pm i had contraction only for every 10 mins but for less seconds and crevix open only 2cm.

I followed the breathing tips and do butterfly position as you said in class... Doctors also waited so long and gave so much confidence and told to walk around and sit to open my crevix. Nurses take care of me very well.

They allowed my relatives inside for every one hour and my husband also with me till evening 4pm, he spoke and chat with me so cool. He never showed his tension infront of me. In labour ward i was chat and laughed at him like we r n home which gave me so much confidence. Finally I got hard contractions every 1min... My husband send outside. All 3 doctors and nurses monitor my contrctions rom 4pm to 5pm and finally doctor insisted me to give a push holding the thighs at the next pain by.. I was running out of energy.. literally had no stamina to give a push. I gave a push for 7 times and my doctor helped by pushing down the stomach and my boy baby came out safe by 5.21 pm.

I heard his crying and forgot all those pains, all nurses spoke with him he never stopped crying. Once they showed him to me, he heard my voice and stopped crying immediately and looking at me. It was a wonderful moment, especially wants to share with you amba.

Since it was my first pregnancy.. I thought labour would be more severe. I had severe pain, But Amba's prenatal exercises induce my labor, yoga and breathing gave me so much confidence. I thank Amba for all i have learnt from this class.. Original Link - https://www.facebook.com/vinodhini.baskar.5/posts/pfbid0QVQMcGw4RphjtaCqwPvB4y2B578VvxaHXWsw2uiTyYdyqPbHgrNn16Ns5qrX4zbbl
