The Birth

 

On Friday the 9th of August, I started having contractions every 15 minutes. I went to see a local doctor the next day and I was told not to worry, that the pains were linked to the complications of the pregnancy rather than labour. I went home and waited until Monday night without saying much. After all, I wasn’t in labour!! Monday night was horrible. I went through every contractions wondering what I could do to help the pains, and I started thinking that I had a torn muscle or a broken bone in my pelvis. By Tuesday 13th  early morning, I had decided that labour or not labour, I was going to the hospital that day. My husband still left for work as we were so convinced that this doctor knew and that the baby wasn’t coming for another 4 weeks. I remember sitting on my computer chair feeling really frustrated, I couldn’t figure out why I was in so much pain, and why I felt like pushing (today, I don’t blame anyone for wondering if I am “normal”. I, myself can’t understand how I did not guess after having had two other babies.)

Anyway, 10 minutes later, Talina was born in my bathroom. She was born between my two other children asking for breakfast, in a breech position. It was the most memorable moment of my life. I delivered my baby myself. I feel so much love when I think about this magical moment. I wrapped her in a towel and called my mother who came right away. I delivered the placenta and wrapped it in another towel.  I was blessed with the opportunity to sing to my daughter and kiss her.  My two children were able to meet their sister alive.  

 

Talina lived for an hour before she fell asleep in my arms. She didn’t look in pain, she looked peaceful.
