My second pregnancy, with all information - After three years we decided we did not want Matt to grow alone in this world so rude, so I went to the doctor to get me the IUD and three months later was jumping with joy, she was pregnant again.
From that moment I decided I was going to do anything different. First of all was to find out about other forms of birth. There are many things I do not know, but what was absolutely certain is that not going to let treat me as if I were sick. And of course could not go back to just take yoga for pregnant, it was not enough for me.
I knew I wanted to take a psychoprophylactic course, I confess I had no idea what exactly was a course of those, but always heard that you had to take one if you were pregnant.
I finally managed to communicate with a charge, he gave me the information, location and told me that they were about to finish the sessions and that in a month would begin again the course, to wait for me about three weeks to take the course from the beginning. He also told me that apart from the course for couples, also gave exercise classes and independent breaths course and invited me to take one. I attended and was delighted with the deal, warmth and kindness with which I was treated.
They spent three weeks and then began Wednesday nights my favorite! I discovered a completely unknown universe. I discovered that my previous doctor had lied to me about many things like that if you break the source have only eight hours for the baby, false.
What I discovered in my psychoprophylactic course
I discovered that if you fed and hydrated serum need not get when you arrive at hospital.
I discovered that labor has several stages and it is not necessary run to less pain, even if either your date of birth.
I discovered that a trial of labor can last more than 12 hours.
I discovered that some annoyances or dangers during pregnancy can be caused by an infection in the urinary tract and analysts was very easy to know, ah but my doctor always sent me the same and a few days of rest before any discomfort. These drugs are only to stop contractions and lower the pressure, not to infection.
I discovered that if you take a warm bath and you get a tub you can relieve the discomfort of contractions.
I found I could demand that I give to my fresh out of my baby, even if caesarean section could also demand immediate contact.
So every Wednesday discovered a lot of things that were me and are still useful in childbirth and parenting now.
I had only one fear, rajarme at the last moment. My pain threshold of very low and although I resist much, also I squirm and complain a lot.
Doctor change at the last minute
The course followed every week and my doubts about my doctor increased rather than decreased. He doubted already told me everything. Although he had no clear intention to give birth in the water, I asked if I would serve like a water birth. He said that he does not like water deliveries and could be pending, but was not responsible.
Do not ask me why, but at that time I just thought "my will apply again and will end up being caesarean". This lasted a few months, and every week to leave the course reinforced my idea of changing doctor, because in the course discovered that there are procedures that are bringing you everything ended in cesarean section.
The last straw was when, in the course, they talked about the use of oxytocin to induce labor, then I realized that in the previous birth I put too much oxytocin and clear that when the kid kicked leave, I will procrastinating and therefore obvious, I had to do cesarean section because there were changes in the baby's heart rate. That did not happen again.
After that class played appointment again with the gynecologist and told him that he would not want anesthesia to what he just smiled and said "the going to ask loudly, but as you want, we'll see," or gave me the plane, literal. And if I send you some little injections to "strengthen the baby's lungs by anything."
That was the time when we became convinced that if we continued with that doctor, things were going to end up the same. Even before he had asked choices of doctors pro natural childbirth, as increasingly thought that phrase "if you want different results, do things differently", ergo, he could not go to a doctor who had a high rate of Caesarean sections in his name.
According to the due date missing nearly two months for the birth of the baby, so I said "now or never" and called the first doctor on my list of options, made an appointment and we turn excited.
As soon as I walked in the door I felt super comfortable with that warm man, smiling, friendly and above all, that gave me the tranquility of being on the same page about how I wanted my second child was born.
I do not even look for another medical option, Hugo gave us the certainty we needed and the necessary chemistry to move this important moment. Hugo just sent me to do some blood tests and an ultrasound. Everything turned out well and begin to see ourselves dates every 15 days.
Only one thing Hugo told me, "you have a previous cesarean section, there is a possibility that labor might tear the scar, in that case, no wonder I do a C-section, for you and the baby."
My second birth, another story
Things happened almost a month ago, I started having contractions a day before my review, Hugo sent me rest and a tablet, the next day I checked and said "is already head is already turned and bring 3 expansion. This girl and wants to leave, so next time you have contractions you go to the hospital. "
I felt an immense emotion, I left the office trembling. We went to pick up Mat, explained that the birth was imminent and we went home.
By then I felt strong but spaced contractions, advanced dates I had nothing prepared, or suitcase or anything!
Everything happened in about 6-7 hours, I asked to wash and dry out clothes for the hospital, the father ran to the supermarket for gatorade, diapers, a nightgown and do not know what else. I did the playlist at home and at some point got into the bathtub.
7 pm I called Hugo, I told him I already felt strong contractions, the indication was going to the hospital to "check on me." At 9 at night and I could not incorporate and asked Gabriel go to the hospital.
We did 25 minutes, the most painful of my life. Time I reached the hospital the contractions were every two and a half minutes! Along with Hugo, they were there perinatal my trainers, my angels, Mariana and La Guera.
Thanks to those three people whole story was different, in the end if I asked anesthesia, same that was applied responsibly and respecting my desire for a natural birth.
I was scared so much pain, I felt I was not going to reach the end, but there were always taking my hand and Mariana La Guera, never let me go, they told me what was happening and what was going to happen next.
At two hours of arriving at the hospital and wanted to bid, took me running to the operating room, La Guera took my hand and not let go until he arrived at the Mariana Gabriel shouted moment, you're crowning.
Three grunts and the girl came out, I put her in the chest and then the dried and dried snot and left me five minutes. They took off to weigh and measure. They wrapped and gave it to his dad.
I felt perfect, nothing hurt me, however. I felt full of energy and strength. Nothing like how I felt after the birth of Mat, no dizziness or jitters or cold or feeling sick.
I confess I had a slight feeling of failure for having asked anesthesia, but everyone told me it was not important, that the end had managed to give birth.
I know that without progress and without the company of Mariana and La Guera would not have achieved alone no. And for that I am eternally grateful, because I got the gift of giving birth to my first daughter, also to the second but that pregnancy is the story on Wednesday.
