Judith suggested acupuncture, which I accepted without hesitation. I was willing to try anything. And it worked! After acupuncture, the contractions disappeared for a time. No, don't want that! But then, gradually, became more regular and more intense, but still I thought that this would take a long time, that was still not "THE" moment. At 16:00 hours, Judith sent me a message asking how I was feeling. My husband, Joris, I had to pick up Sophie from a school excursion to 16:30 hours. I was in bed all the time, alone. I wanted someone to be with me, but I did not dare to say that you really had begun the work of childbirth. Imagine if Judith came in vain. Fortunately, Judith correctly judged the situation and decided to come. Then everything happened very fast. Joris returned home at 16:30 hours, I was in the shower, I started to feel the contractions I was feeling pressure down. I couldn't take it anymore. I was outside of myself. In that moment, Sophie was already with me, and at 17:00 hours, Judith rose. I got out of the shower, I asked for a touch, and yes, full dilation. Oh, my God, how I cried, I cried and I cried. He had come to this moment alone!, 10cm without help, without drugs, without hospital. Oh, I suddenly something scary. Now I can not go to the hospital, now I have to do it myself. Meanwhile, Judith asked a couple of things to Joris and Sophie that I wanted to help: bring water, towels, handkerchiefs, etc, Was so special that Sophie was there, above helping, it was something I really wanted. My father-in-law was down, and the only thing that he could scream as I felt the intensity of the contraction was: keep the bedroom door closed! And then, I thought that the baby was going to go out on my back, the "ring of fire", was an immense pain, barely able to stand and wanted to push sac. Until you Judith interjected firmly, and said: "don't you sense this before because the epidural had, so listen to me well and we will do it slowly. And so, after 3 pushes more, at 17:49 hours, was born our small and gorgeous Sammie, at home. As the sex had been an unknown, yet we hesitated between Olivia and Sammie (I knew it would be a boy named Samuel ;)), but Sophie and Josephine (who came and watched them from time to time), said: "This is a really Sammie". It seems that Julian was running around crying with my father-in-law saying: "It's another girl", but he came quickly to see. I was so proud of myself, of having done so, I give birth on my own! Then she had to birth the placenta, which lasted quite a long time. I was a little afraid again, if we now have to go to the hospital, physically could not stand it. Meanwhile, Marta had also arrived and I listened to them talk in Spanish and I freaked out a little. What if the placenta did not leave it alone? But then, fortunately, Judith and Marta knew exactly what to do. A little rest, a little help with an injection of oxytocin, and there was the placenta. Julian looked closely, watching "the burger", as he called it. The only thing I wanted at that moment was: I take a SHOWER! I was so horny after spending all day in bed. He was exhausted and dirty. I duchy, and then I lay down on the bed with Sammie and all children. We still had the birthday cake of Last, that he had a birthday two days before, and so we finished the delivery. IT WAS A FEAST!
