“Sentiments at the Hospital.”
Do you know what is the worst pain that produces one of the best feelings in a human being? Could you imagine the giving birth process of a woman? So this is my real history about giving birth a charming boy of silky smooth skin. I was twenty-two years old, when I had my first and unique little boy, his name is Dominick. I gave birth to Dominick at San Francisco Hospital in the city of San Miguel. “I will never forget the day that changed my life totally.” It was a sunny and hot day of March 25th of 2013, I was in my residence as a normal day.
That day was an unforgettable day. I did a bunch of activities in my home during the morning. I remembered I woke up at 8:00 am then took a bath, the water was so high temperature, in my house the water is always warm. I wore a blue floral and large dress, but the way that one was one of my favorite dresses when I was pregnant. I combed my hair and went to the kitchen to prepare my first meal. I ate a yummy breakfast. It had eggs, avocado, cheese, a slide of bread and a cup of milk. I watched the soap opera “Corazón Indomable'' on TV. I finished my meal and the soap opera too, but suddenly I felt like peeing. For this reason, I went to the bath and noticed a bloodstain on my underwear.
Despite the bloodstain, I did not feel nuisance, either ache or debility. Contradictory, I felt normal as mentioned before without pain. For those reasons I had a neutral reaction but was worried, and I said to myself: “calm down, all will be okay”. Serenely I called my husband and told him about it. I went to see Dr. Elizabeth Amaya at her private clinic. Immediately, Dr. Amaya checked my rounded belly. She told me: “Yasmín it is time, your baby is coming” and referred me to the hospital, after visiting Dr. Amaya, I returned to my home and prepared my bag with the baby things. Edwin, my husband and I are so anxious and in my mind I could believe what was happening. When we were ready, we went to the hospital.
I arrived at San Francisco Hospital in the afternoon. I registered at the hospital at 5:00 pm. The nurses kindly received and gave some instructions. My room was on the third floor, the environment was relaxing and I still had no pain. I never imagined what would happen then. At 7:00 pm, the nurses injected me with some medicine for trigger pains and my martyrdom started. Giving birth pains are hideous and women can see death in this moment. I felt my bones broken like I was fragmented in pieces. I screamed, cried, and twisted on my bed. Were six hours of completed agony. My doctor never proposed to do a caesarean section even though I shouted: “Get out my baby, please” and now I am so grateful for that. I gave birth to Dominick at 1:10 am on March 26th. With all my pains I had a natural childbirth.
Finally I got discharged from the hospital and went to my home with my little bird in my arms and comprehend the true love of a mother to her children. Since that day my life unreservedly changed and also my perspective about the meaning of responsibility for being parents. It is a huge economical, emocional, and social redesign. Likewise I recognized the unequaled suffering that women did for bringing out babies and the force that only God can give in that moment. Giving birth is a unique experience with a combination of inexplicable sentiments, still with pains the love prevails.
