I tell you that I have finished the year 2008, with the best gift of the universe ... and the lady who was one of the protagonists of this story sent me this story, allowing me to share it with anyone and publish it in every way that I have. So, for joy at the wonder that I have lived, they are transcribed here. This is a PVD2C (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean sections 2) enclosed in home and occur in water (in pool Childbirth) The real protagonists of this story is:
- PATRICIA , mother of 2-Candela and Augustine were born by Cesarean section inne-cesarean-advanced student of Medicine and Leader of La Leche League Argentina.
- FIAMMA, a beautiful BB of 3,145 gr. Born in these latitudes in the early hours of December 30th (a few days ago)
- JORGE, Fiamma's dad ... the ideal companion!
Candela After the birth of me was hoping for another deal with my next child and it made my pain was not as deep, but you gave me the birth of Augustine was even worse and I have the memory of my crying baby from the womb, that uncontrollable anguish only produces outrage the violation ... with post-traumatic depression that lasted months
With the passing of the time I internalized about births and some medical practices and needed to know, even though the thought of not having children, that my body could birth, which I served and my heart and my soul could leave birth.
Time passed, I resumed my studies (Medicine), I left and met a wonderful man, dreamed of: George, the father of Fiamma. Almost like a game, a sensual game of two wounded people who want to be happy logic aside and left in the repressed passion of past experience, we Fiamma and he knows us, who wanted to live and wanted to be born.
Fiamma is the epitome of life ... since it was conceived in a very special moment in my life and my history, a history stained with blood and injustice as a result of the military dictatorship that took place in my country, Argentina and left me an orphan to take my dad and my mom when I was 4 years (I'm missing daughter and shot) A story that begins to close ....
Pregnancy surprised me from my place of thinking and scared because I did not know who would care for me and this baby growing inside me. How much distress and embarrassment caused me to think that he would go to a planned caesarean section for my previous cesareans !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started the search
Professional and losses also began ... I bled and did not know why. was my soul cry of despair? It was my story? It was the uncertainty that this man knew ourselves??
A night guard of a women's hospital told me that my daughter would not live, his heart was beating very slowly, which is why the losses ... that in a few days goodbye. Two days later, bleeding, scared, and my man crying over the loss, kneeling on the floor and slipped seeing our dream "We go to hospital" , I said, I said no. It was the feast of the nonna (met 90 years) after going to hospital ... something in my heart told me not . We were many hours later. The same doctor resident in the ward, "spontaneous abortion" he said. Next day: ultrasound and there was my baby with a heart pounding !!!!! I wanted to live !!!!!!!!!!
(Abortion say? The wanted out of my uterus without actually check whether she was alive or not? ... how I hated you, Resident Physician!)
was a hematoma in the uterus, so, rest ... and continue the search for someone to assist me respectfully ... someone like that exist?? From there I drifted for my heart, with his doubts and ambivalence, but his lust to be happy !!!!!!!!!
I was alone at consultas, porque no sabía si Jorge aceptaría buscar a alguien que nos cuidara en un parto humanizado, con mis dos cesáreas anteriores y el miedo que nos meten. Jorge pensaba que yo no lo quería dejar participar, ja!!!! Nada más lejos de la verdad!!! Ahora podés saberlo Amor, cuando leas esto; que yo quería encontrar a la persona indicada y sabía que era muy difícil en esta ciudad, no podía llevarte de médico en médico y no podía permitir que dudes de mi, de mi cuerpo, porque ya para eso estaba yo!!! No quería la frialdad del sanatorio, no quería más mutilaciones en mi cuerpo, no quería las salvajadas que le habían hecho a mis otros hijos para este bb, I feel so guilty about it. Sorry I ask my 2 previous children because I could not defend their births !!!!!!!!!!!!
I recommend everyone (none wanted to accompany me on a vaginal birth ... they all said "Caesarea Program"), until I got the Cris !!!!!! A little big woman, and I saw my birth. The Cris said: "Of course we can do a normal delivery!" And I broke into tears, tears of release, of peace.
The pregnancy was quiet, the losses ceded and the seventh month another scare: Preterm labor , back rest, find myself. The Cris me up, gave me medication to keep the pregnancy and ripen, but Fiamma pulmoncitos of me always telling me with affection and always, always, what was happening and what I did ... Cris always giving me the security and respect for me and my daughter in my belly! ... the Cris I said "Fiamma Permitil a good birth, Go with the reassurance you need this pregnancy, just repeating your old pains and no more worries in your life. This is a sign ... BB needs you to be quiet "... .. My Jorge accompanying me every moment, caring, mimándonos. My children support from their sites and how each one of us could.
almost absolute rest from week 30 to 34 (I took to sew, by hand, the latest baby clothes for my baby. I ended up also dress the basket when sleeping now not being held). After that I stood for some moments and Cris coming every 48 hours to see me, to chat, to check on my baby and me. Until over a week after 36 and 37 and to 38 when they started, one night, but worrying about irregular contractions. My Drink was near birth. We call the Cris and told us he could miss more time, or he could move or stop. And so it was stopped near dawn and slept soundly (that was on the morning of December 29).
During the day I was worried ... needed to know that my body worked well, I needed to repair the old wounds and Chris that I wanted to make a touch. Suggested it whenever I could and she swims!
That 29's I come, I swear that I unconsciously confused the date to get a vaccine, with the excuse that I come to my house, I apply a second dose of Tetanus, but really felt great need to have around. And he came and told him directly: "Cris, do me a touch" Cris: I wonder why you wanted to invade with that touch me, you remember? now I can answer: I needed to know that my body was functioning well! That touch was not invasive, but rather sleep. And was almost 5 cm dilated. touch After we talked, we kill and left. After a while the contractions began, these were indeed significant, sustained and increasingly intense. Type had started 20 or 20.30 pm.
thought that Jorge was not attempt to control the contractions, it was and went, so I immersed myself in my labor and thought no more, I began to feel, to connect with my bb (as we had said Cris in childbirth preparation workshop she leads) I went and I took a shower, letting the warm water fall on my back with each contraction rehearsed positions for which would come later.
I took as much time as needed. I finished and went to the room, I sat in a padded Botineras a corner and went on with my work. When the kids went to bed, I went down and settled into a chaise. The contractions were stronger and more intense, however did not seem in anything in which he had had with my other children, they were softer (those were filled with synthetic oxytocin and invasions).
Jorge was preparing things, filled the sink, turned on the stove with oil that had bought relaxed, caressing me, blowing me, when I spent a contraction ended a wet towel over his face and neck, it was as reliever !!!!!!!!!! I hid as he rested because he realized that, between contractions, felt cold. He scored, he shot, I pulled the picture of my mom, I took care, we loved ....
At 23 h, Jorge called the Cris. I ate a peach, a piece of pizza and took a little cold water, my body knew it was going to need energy!! Cris came, and sat down beside me without speaking. A contraction came and laid her hand on her belly. When he finished, he looked for the bags in the car and touch me, when I stop! (Because not tolerate sleep) Congratulations! told me you were at 8 cm ! I drank some water, I peed, two contractions, strong, covered me. The felt, explorations, I lived!! I got into the pool of Cris. They were like the one in the morning and warned that and I wanted to push. I feel how my bb pierced me was about to have the most wonderful experience of my life. Contraction ends and opened my eyes and I saw: Cris on bringing the picture of my mother, "because I wanted her close by and had left her in the rocking chair where I was before, in a wonderful gesture of genuine respect and absolute! !!!!!!! That gave me peace of mind. Cris not only took care of my body but my soul !!!!! My man beside me, encouraging me, loving me, I felt relaxed!! For the first time in my life I felt cared for and loved !!!!!
Another contraction, another push. For a moment I thought he was not going to, I looked at the picture of my mom, I needed that smile twice. In a contraction of Cris told me to blow, the next I could not hear and Jorge, my love, yes I could hear him, I cared, I touched ... ..
A pushing more and left the head!! how much relief !!!!!!!!! Ten minutes. The stroking Cris tummy and patting the head of Fiamma, under water, encouraging us to continue -never, never pulled the BB as I do in the sanatoriums ... whoooole stroked and time- came another contraction. Jorge crying with excitement talking about how at that time showed me one of the secrets of life: the birth of our daughter, born leaving, exploring life itself through my body!! And he left the body of my precious Fiamma!! I felt his back and his feet out of my body, gently ... ... .. It was 1:55 am on December 30, 2008.
The Cris gave it back in the water and was Fiamma with their eyes wide open. I asked and was pulled from the water. My baby looked me straight in the eye and after 30 sec breath calm, without cries and always looking ... this is the most powerful image I have of my birth !!!!! We covered immediately. My baby and I spent a few minutes in the birthing pool, recognizing, until I wanted to leave. I asked for help because I thought it was going to pull the cord ... I went ... I sat on the birthing stool and fell spontaneously placenta. Not a tear in my perineum, my first vaginal birth and intact (no sutures, no points!) My beautiful Candela had been listening to all and when he realized that his sister was born, came down to celebrate with us the birth of Fiamma.
George cut the cord, after a while I stopped, I gave the bb to him and went to bathe, to be with my bb quiet later in the room, giving the breast, communicating, loving. The air breathed in my house was simply that, we all embraced an extraordinary joy.
I could give birth,
