On the 41st week plus 2 days of
my pregnancy we did not want to wait any longer and also it was unadvisable
because going beyond time. Waiting rose to the highest pitch. Although, the
little boy inside showed no sign of coming into the world.
On Thursday morning (12/JUL) we
went to the hospital as my doctor requested. Nothing happened on that day. My
obstetrix came the following morning and we went to the labouring section. The cardiac sound of the baby and also the womb actions were continuously checked.
No pains, no dilatation. As a first attempt for labor induction a special gel
(Prepidil) was applied to help the cervix to be matured. Then we waited. Suddenly
two sisters hurried to me and said to turn on my left side because the heartbeat
of the baby critically fall. This CTG anomaly was temporarily normalized but
once I got oxytocin as a second step of the labor induction, it happened again.
The infusion was immediately stopped and we had no choice, decision was made:
Caesearian operation. It was a little bit hard to accept but it proved to be
the only and best possible solution because the umbilical cord was twisted loose
around his neck as it turned out later.
From that point, everything happened so fast. Epidural
anesthesia, iodine, cutting, unidentified movements underbelly, baby’s out,
sewing. I felt everything except pains. Then from the delivery room I was
carried to the observing room where the best part was lived through thanks to a
certain ’coctail’ as infusion. It made me to feel endless calm, a feeling close
to world peace. This is something that every woman got after delivery to help
them to relax for a few hours till the life returns into the legs. So I was
just lying with a pleasing happiness, with the thought of fulness, I did it, I’m
over, filled with inexplicable calmness. The golden hour was spent there
together intimately: mum, dad and our newborn baby.
