Personal experience: my first American childbirth

'25.07.2017'

In the first pregnancy, when my husband and I went to the courses for preparing for childbirth, we were told that there were three stages of labor and that during the first one I would calmly have time to take a shower, do a manicure, collect things and clean the house. Of course, I am exaggerating this, but I expected that at least I would have time to go for a short walk or something like that.

When in my first PDR I was going to sleep, at about 23 o'clock at night, without even having time to fall asleep, I felt strong contractions. They were so intense that after 20 minutes it was already difficult for me to breathe. For the rest of the night, I lay in bed, clenching my teeth and afraid to move when the pain came. From time to time, she crawled along the wall to a warm shower and back to bed.

At about 4 in the morning I called my midwife, who said that theoretically it could be training bouts, so we wait until 9-10 in the morning. I remember, we discussed the likelihood of training fights, but not to the same degree of pain.

The contractions continued and became more intense. In the morning, 10, we phoned the doctor again and decided to go to the hospital. In 13, we arrived at the hospital with a disclosure in 7. See. They put a monitor on my stomach, listened to my heartbeat, checked the pressure and the strength of contractions. After that I went to the jacuzzi.

Yes, there was a jacuzzi in my room. In water, sensations are completely different, you feel much easier - I recommend.

Since it is impossible to give birth in the water according to the rules of this hospital, around 15 hours of the day, with the beginning, the attempts went to bed. I lay on my back, which, I believe, was my mistake, because this is not the most physiologically optimal posture for childbirth. I think because of this, the process was a little delayed and the son was born only in 17: 37.

He was born 10 on April 2014, exactly in his DA in a total of 18 hours, without painkillers and any interventions, which in principle is predetermined by the rules of this delivery room. I will tell about my family room separately, as I highly recommend it if you are going to give birth in New York.
