But my adventure had a little twist since,
as usual, stubborn as I am, I had put in my mind that I am going for a normal
delivery no matter what. I did everything to prepare myself for it, whether
physically or psychologically. Healthy diet, fitness, yoga asanas, breathing
techniques, those pelvic exercises on the gym ball, swimming... oh the list
goes on! I was very intrigued by the pain a woman feels during labour and
obviously I googled it, youtubed it and regretted it. So I thought of asking
those women who've been through it. Couldn't be more relevant.
Asking my mum and my hubby's mum, they
both told me: "Oh you know it's just like period pain! Only 10 times
stronger. Its bearable." Ooookay. Then I asked my cousin sister, who gave
birth to a little princess too two months before me. Even she said: "Ah
you know it goes pretty quick. Three hard pushes and she's out. You'll be fine.
It's bearable."
Hmm. Bearable. And I carried on,
determined, like a bull. Normal delivery no matter what and I will bear it.
D-day came. The pain began, like normal
period pain. Ha! That's easy. And as the clock ticked, I started twisting and
turning on the bed, bending over the chair, breathing like a horse, wailing
like a whale, crushing my husband's hand (poor thing), and thinking of all
those who said that the pain is, bearable. Thanks!
