ALL ABOUT GIVING BIRTH

ALL ABOUT GIVING BIRTH

The true PAIN.

Heartache is painful but giving birth to a child is the most painful one and I consider it as a TRUE pain.

When I was on your shoe, I ask my OB "WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF LABOR AND WHEN IS THE TIME I SHOULD BE RUSH IN THE HOSPITAL?"

She mentioned, "Each women experiences were different however the common signs are:
1. Baby DROPS - meaning your baby now rest in your lower pelvis

2. Cervix Dilated - you will know na nag dilate (open) na cervix pag nag conduct na yung OB ninyo ng internal exam (IE - medyo masakit to kasi echecheck nila kung bukas na cervix at kung gaano ka wide). This will dilate up to 10 cm.

3. You have diarrhea

4. Lot of Discharge - tinutukoy ko na discharge ay yung may mucus miced with blood. Some women has a pinkish discharge my doctor called it as "blood show".

5. CONTRACTIONS - ito yung pananakit ng uterus mo (parehas na masakit yung tiyan at balakang mo)
But don't be deceive kasi may dalawang kinds ang contraction:

1. Braxton Hicks Contraction - ito yung uri ng pananakit sa uterus na nawawala lang pag nagchange ka ng position sa paghiga or pag gumalaw ka. Sabi ni doc kaya ito nararanasan muscles ng uterus tighten in preparation sa pag push sa baby paALL ABOUT GIVING BIRTH

3.  CONTRACTION PROGRESS - meaning mas madalas at mas masakit na ang tiyan at balakang mo at may pattern to (may 10 minutes ang interval ng sakit at may less than 5 minutes)

Usually pag nag ACTIVE labor kana, you could feel menstrual cramps, natatae lagi,  lower abdominal pressure at nasa 5 minutes or less na yung contractions meaning - GO TO HOSPITAL kasi anytime manganganak kana!

5. WATER BREAKS (sa tagalog pag pumutok na ang iyong panubigan)"


In my case, I been rush twice in the hospital kasi akala ko nagaactive labor na ako dahil sa Braxton Hicks Contraction na yan! (pa-uso kainis), pero my cervix still on 3cm. Ayun pina-uwi lang ako ng OB ko sa bahay at binigyan ako ng medication tulong para bumaba si baby at para mas magdilate ang cervix ko.

After those false alarms, Contraction happened and the interval is now around 5 minutes but I ignored it thinking that it was just a Braxton Hicks Contraction. I was able to take a bath and was dishes while ignoring the contractions. Until the moment comes that I could no longer hold the pain and was being rushed in the hospital again and that was the most painful moment why? because I ride a tricycle on the way to the hospital and it quite a bumpy road. We can't wait to book either taxi or grab because I have the feeling our baby will comeout! No should be wasted.

THE WAITING TIME AND ALL THE PAIN ARE ALL WORTH IT.  Hearing you cry by the moment you came out is the happiest feeling ever!
