The life I was presenting a second chance to give birth and I, this time, I wanted a delivery mammal, real, I wanted to leave the body and mind come together, to feel it all, to live each stage of the work of the delivery of a conscious and fully trust in Nature.
Giving birth naturally at home. The decision, taken a month before, “in extremis”.
I wanted a natural birth, it was clear. I felt the need to be part of the group of women having experienced the pain of delivery. Each story of “childbirth is our” made my heart beat with the force, felt an impulse of solidarity and envy at the same time.
I wanted a respected childbirth, with a lot of care, was also clear. I felt such a claim, that the things have to do with love and passion, and if not, do not. I felt that it would be a way to give my support to the immense number of women who have undergone childbirth disrespectful.
Of the possible options, the only one that stood a good foundation in my head, it was not to move from home. Any other plan, meant to leave Clementine at any time, at any other party, and under the responsibility of other people. I was not feeling well. Birthing at home, Clementine could be with us. What is more, if given the circumstances, could be present and be part of the birth of his sister. This I was excited a lot.
Once you understand this feeling and this new vision of mine to see the birth, so I talked with Max and although not very consensual on your part, we got to know Martha, the matron of Nikita. After the first visit to Orba was clear that giving birth at home and with Marta matched perfectly with my desire in the form of intuition. Marta demonstrated experience and knew how to convey trust and confidence. Max accepted the challenge and begins thus, the preparation process with Martha and home delivery.
Helped by the dim light of the grey cloud, the sound of rain, the mountain view, elements of deep calm. I focused on watching the droplets fall and disappear softly against the floor. And with this tune, I listened in sync hypnosis Marta, time and time again, in a loop, until the forces I reached to extend the arm, take the mobile on the table and press the button to re-play.
I took off all the clothes, they helped me to get in, the water was warm, and I sat down comfortably. Bathtubs with hot water, and I have always gotten along well.
Meanwhile, Clementine watching me through the glass, he came and accompanied me. Cogíó a ball and rolled to my side, yours of your size and color yellow. Gave votecitos on the ball as I breathed deeply as I shouted at the same time that I screamed, drank his glass of peach juice and stirred the ice like me. Very cute, I wanted to live in the moment like me. But for me, it was not a game. Even though I marveled at his behavior, and he would remember it with fondness, I was distracting negatively and I had to ask Max very bitterly that will take her from my side. And I understood, that only tolerate the close presence of Martha and Judith.
First thing he did, Martha, when she saw me was to control the pace of the heartbeat of the baby's heart after contraction. I said: “The baby is perfectly”. I sat down more than good. All was well, and I had only to be carried away by the rhythm of the contractions and my instinct. Suddenly I heard Martha say: “we're Going to mount the tub now.” And I got excited again, and that meant that the first stage of labour was well advanced, and that the desire of experiencing the tub was going to meet.
There was movement behind me, Martha, Judith, Max and Clementine cooperating, but I was already in my world, the planet of delivery.
There began a new phase, the same contractions, the same pain, but more relaxed than on the ball. Breathing deeply not helped me cope with the pain but on the contrary, the deep breathing gives rise to a new contraction. Then I understood, that I could shorten the time between the contractions, and if each contraction was to take a tiny step, then it was in my hands to give an accelerated pace to the process of childbirth. In each contraction shouted, Martha and Judith said: “you are doing very well.” Grab Me by the hands, I asked, “What else can I do?, it hurts a lot.” Marta I massaged the neck. I heard Martha say, “be Opened”. My instinct, I translated it thus: it relaxes all the muscles, also the anus.
The push after a contraction, I slipped sliding your ass forward and said that I believed to notice not doing enough. They asked Me if I wanted to change position. On four legs, as I had read, it was a good pose, it was still in the bathtub. With this posture, yes I was aware of the immediate effect of each bid. Came the pushing by which I noticed Maëlle descend, and after the next pushing, another decline. I was reminded of the women who wrote to feel strength and animal roar as such. With my little jet of voice, not understanding where I went out so much power.
We were both in the tub a little longer, enjoying the moment, until Martha and Judith told me that I could go to bed. I grabbed her, I embraced with hot towels and went to bed.
