My dear mothers and mothers-to-be, I am about to present my birth story, which I have wanted to write for a long time but couldn't. I warn you in advance that it will be very long, happy reading 💕 On the morning of April 3, I woke up restless, as if a family of elephants had made a nest in the middle of my chest, jumping around happily. There was an indescribable discomfort, and I said to myself, okay girl, you are going to give birth today 😂 My estimated due date was the 3rd of the month anyway, and with that encouragement, I got out of bed and started preparing breakfast. At the same time, I was thinking, am I really going to give birth today, but I don't have any contractions, how will the birth happen. I woke up my husband and while we were having breakfast, I kept saying you'll see, I'm going to give birth today. My husband went to work, I cleaned up the place, and when I looked, it was past noon, I went and sat on the sofa in the living room and started talking to my belly. It was a half-hour conversation on the theme of whether my daughter was thinking of coming today 😂 With no contractions at all, I barely made it to the evening, but the discomfort inside me still didn't go away, and I started to feel my daughter further down between my legs. It got late, I fell asleep disappointed that I couldn't give birth that day, and then I opened my eyes with a severe contraction hitting from the right. I got up with sleepiness, turned on the bedside lamp, and while trying to come to my senses for 3-4 seconds, a contraction came from the left this time. I wasn't expecting it at all, I hadn't given birth that day, I had said that the lady had no intention of coming, so what was this contraction? I woke up my husband and said get up, I'm giving birth, this time I'm seriously giving birth 😂 We rushed to the hospital, but I can't tell you how much pain I had on the way, like those pregnant women in TV series and movies who scream when they go to give birth, I'm exactly like that, I'm trying hard not to scream. We arrived at the hospital, the on-call doctor immediately examined me and said your dilation is 5 cm, the baby is in the birth position, has entered the canal. He connected me to the NST, my contractions were through the roof, I was flying 😂 All these events happened within 1.5 hours, by the way, when I woke up at home with contractions, it was 03.30, when I was at the hospital it was 05.00. The doctor was shocked, he said it progressed very quickly for the first pregnancy, at this rate you will have your daughter in your arms in 2-3 hours, we were shocked 😂 My husband called the families, they came, the nurses started to walk me in the corridor. We had an agreement with the birth photographer, he came and started taking pictures while walking, now when I look at it, how crooked my face looks 😂 My dilation was checked every half hour, at 07.15 my dilation was 8 cm, my own doctor came and said I will take you to the delivery when your dilation is 10 cm, are you ready, but I was still in shock, I didn't feel ready, I was having difficulty breathing from the pain. At around 08.00 I started to cry, I couldn't stand it anymore, I kept saying let me give birth as soon as possible and it's over, I couldn't see anyone, my stomach was also nauseous. My blood pressure was measured and it was low, I said I don't feel well, if I'm going to give birth, let me give birth, if I wait a little longer, I won't be able to give birth, this child will stay inside me, I swear 😂 At around 9, my doctor came and said your dilation is complete, let's give birth, you are exhausted from crying, don't let your daughter see you ugly, he broke my water bag, as soon as he broke it, I felt the urge to push, I immediately started pushing with the guidance of my doctor and midwives. May God bless them all, they were very concerned with me, they constantly made motivating speeches, they held my hand and wiped the sweat from my forehead. When the contraction came, I had a hard time pushing, otherwise it didn't hurt much, everything was numb anyway, I didn't feel anything to exaggerate. When the contraction came, I pushed and taking the right breath is really important. Screaming and shouting, I finally took my daughter in my arms at 10.42, when I took her in my arms, there was no pain left, nothing else. Really, everything was until I took her in my arms, I was so relieved that it was a perfect feeling. A 5 cm episiotomy was performed during the birth, but I didn't feel it at all when it was cut, I felt it slightly from time to time when it was stitched, even though my pain threshold is very low, I was very afraid of episiotomy. In short, my contractions that started at home at 03.30 on April 4 ended in the delivery room at 10.42 💕 If even I, who can't stand anything in the world, who cries for half an hour even with the smallest cut, gave birth, everyone can give birth, don't be afraid of childbirth. I was very afraid, I was saying how will the birth happen, how will this child come out, I can't do it, but look, I gave birth and how many days have passed since then 😂 My daughter and I are fine, we seem to be getting used to each other. When she was in my belly, she would calm down when she heard her father's voice, and it's the same now. You suffer so much pain, scream and shout and give birth, and then she calms down with her father's voice, shame on you 😂 If you have read to the end, thank you, I wish healthy births for my mothers-to-be who have not given birth yet, don't worry, you will give birth like a pro, no fear, full speed ahead 😂
